The appellants appealed a trial judgment regarding the wrongful dismissal of a legal assistant who had worked for the appellant lawyer for 17 years.
The appellants argued the trial judge erred by not drawing an adverse inference from the respondent's refusal to waive solicitor-client privilege, by finding the respondent reasonably mitigated her damages, and by dismissing a claim for assigned disbursements.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's treatment of privilege, mitigation, or the lack of notice for the assigned disbursements.
