The plaintiff, a 65-year-old general manager, was terminated without cause or notice after five years of employment when the defendant corporation was shut down.
The defendant abandoned its defence at trial.
The court awarded nine months' notice, equivalent to $48,749.94.
The court declined to deduct the plaintiff's post-termination earnings from inferior positions, finding he was forced to accept them to mitigate his damages.
The court also awarded $7,500 in exemplary damages due to the defendant's bad faith conduct in blackening the plaintiff's character in the community.
