Appeal and cross-appeal in wrongful dismissal action dismissed; 15-month notice period and employee status upheld.
The appellant employer appealed a trial judgment awarding the respondent 15 months' notice for wrongful dismissal.
The appellant argued the respondent was an independent contractor, that a release barred her claim, and that prior asset sales severed her employment history.
The respondent cross-appealed, seeking a longer notice period.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the appeal and cross-appeal, upholding the trial judge's findings that the respondent was an employee, that her employment history carried over through asset sales, and that the 15-month notice period was within the acceptable range.
