The plaintiff brought a wrongful dismissal action after being terminated without cause and without notice from a managerial position with the defendants.
The defendants’ statements of defence had been struck, resulting in the allegations in the statement of claim being deemed admitted at trial.
The plaintiff sought damages for unpaid bonuses and for wrongful dismissal, claiming six months’ pay in lieu of notice.
The court found the claimed six‑month notice period to be within a reasonable range and awarded damages for unpaid bonuses and wrongful dismissal, subject to deduction for salary already paid.
Prejudgment interest under the Courts of Justice Act and costs on a partial indemnity basis were also awarded.
