The plaintiff, a 40-year-old product manager with 19 months of service, brought a motion for summary judgment for wrongful dismissal.
The court found summary judgment appropriate and awarded nine months' notice plus 10% for benefits, totaling $78,333.40.
The notice period was at the high end of the range due to an onerous non-competition clause and the employer's failure to provide a reference letter.
The court also awarded $16,000 in costs, applying substantial indemnity consequences for beating a Rule 49 offer.
