The plaintiff, Rishi Drepaul, was terminated without cause from his employment as a Processing Improvements Coordinator.
He was provided 9 weeks' notice, which he argued was insufficient.
On a motion for summary judgment, the court determined the appropriate notice period, the total remuneration including benefits, and the deductibility of Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.
The court found Drepaul was wrongfully dismissed and entitled to 11 months' salary in lieu of notice, with benefits estimated at 10% of his salary, and confirmed that EI benefits are not deductible from wrongful dismissal damages.
