The self-represented appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision dismissing his action for wrongful dismissal and overtime pay, as well as the subsequent costs award.
The Divisional Court found no error in the trial judge's conclusion that the appellant was a probationary employee who could be terminated without notice under the employment contract.
The court also considered whether leave was required to appeal the costs award under the Courts of Justice Act.
Although leave was required, the court granted it but ultimately dismissed the costs appeal, finding the trial judge's award was within the statutory limit and properly exercised.
