The plaintiff, a senior executive with 22 years of service, was terminated without cause by the defendant.
He brought a motion for summary judgment seeking damages for wrongful dismissal.
The court granted summary judgment, fixing the reasonable notice period at 24 months.
The court held that the plaintiff's entitlement to commissions was not reduced by 50% under the employer's commission plan, as the reduction clause only applied to voluntary resignations.
The court also awarded damages for lost stock options, restricted share units, pension contributions, and certain benefits that would have accrued during the notice period, deferring the exact quantification of damages to a later date.
