The plaintiff brought a motion seeking judgment in accordance with a previously accepted settlement offer and damages for alleged breach of the Minutes of Settlement arising from a wrongful dismissal action.
The dispute centred on the interpretation of settlement provisions relating to eligibility for participation in the employer’s relocation program and reimbursement of relocation-related expenses.
The plaintiff argued that the settlement required immediate enrollment and reimbursement, while the defendant maintained the agreement only provided immediate eligibility and imposed no strict timeline for relocation services.
The court held that the settlement terms had not been breached and that the timing of the defendant’s actions was reasonable in the circumstances.
As no breach was established and the plaintiff failed to prove causation of additional losses, the motion was dismissed and costs were awarded to the defendant.
