The plaintiff, a general manager of a travel centre, was terminated for cause after she diverted funds raised for a children's charity to pay a supplier for unsold chicken wings from a failed promotional event.
She also attempted to conceal the failure of the event and the surplus inventory from her supervisor.
The plaintiff brought an action for wrongful dismissal.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the action, finding that the plaintiff's conduct was dishonest, undermined the employment relationship, and justified termination for cause.
