Appeal Book Endorsement

[1] The appellant was employed as an Inbound Technical Call Centre Agent for just under six months. She was terminated without cause from that employment. She commenced proceedings seeking damages reflecting 18 months' notice and millions of dollars in other damages. The summary judgment motion judge granted an order awarding the appellant $4,846.92 in damages representing pay in lieu of notice and dismissed the rest of her claim. He did not order costs in favour of either party.

[2] This court does not have jurisdiction over this appeal. The order is a final order for a single payment of not more than $50,000 exclusive of costs and therefore pursuant to s. 19 of the Courts of Justice Act, an appeal lies to the Divisional Court.

[3] Accordingly, the appeal is quashed for lack of jurisdiction. The appellant shall pay costs of $1,500 to the respondent, such sum being inclusive of disbursements and applicable tax.
