The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding a binding employment agreement and awarding damages for wrongful dismissal, including Wallace damages.
The appellants argued the trial judge ignored evidence regarding the agreement and that the respondent failed to mitigate his damages by refusing a consulting arrangement.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's credibility assessments and concluding the respondent was not obliged to accept a demeaning consulting arrangement to mitigate his damages.
