The appellant employer appealed a trial judgment awarding the respondent employee six months' salary as reasonable notice for wrongful dismissal, as well as solicitor and client costs.
The Court of Appeal upheld the notice period, finding that while six months was high, it did not justify interference.
However, the Court allowed the appeal regarding costs, holding that based on the recent decision in Rooney v. Graham, the costs should have been awarded on a party and party scale.
