The plaintiff brought an action for wrongful dismissal following his termination from the defendant company.
The dispute centered on whether the plaintiff was contractually required to work full-time in Toronto rather than splitting his time with his residence in San Francisco.
The court found that the written employment agreement was never finalized due to unauthorized changes and 'slip-sheeting' of signature pages.
However, an oral contract existed which did not require the plaintiff to work full-time in Toronto.
The court held that the plaintiff's refusal to work full-time in Toronto did not constitute cause for termination and awarded damages based on the termination provisions of the oral contract.
