The plaintiff, an 18-year employee, was terminated from his position as Service Manager but immediately offered an identical position at the same salary at a related dealership.
The plaintiff refused the offer, citing concerns about seniority and the future of the new dealership, and sued for wrongful dismissal.
The court found that the plaintiff's refusal was objectively unreasonable and that he failed to mitigate his damages.
The action was dismissed with costs awarded to the defendant.
