The appellant employer appealed a trial judgment finding it wrongfully dismissed the respondent employee.
The employer had terminated the employee alleging sexual harassment of co-workers.
The trial judge found the conduct was non-sexual, alcohol-induced harassment that warranted progressive discipline, not dismissal.
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's findings on just cause, the exclusion of a deceased witness's hearsay statement, the modest Wallace extension, and the award for lost benefits.
The appeal was dismissed.
