The parties appeared before the Court of Appeal to determine issues of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest following an appeal regarding a wrongful dismissal.
The appellant argued against pre-judgment interest due to the respondent's delay in issuing the claim and the fact that the appeal judgment awarded no more than the original termination offer.
The court rejected these arguments, noting the appellant had use of the funds, and awarded pre-judgment interest.
The court also declined to vary the agreed post-judgment interest rate of 4 percent, finding the delay in obtaining Employment Insurance repayment information was avoidable.
Costs of the attendance were awarded to the respondent.
