The plaintiff in a wrongful dismissal action brought a motion for the production of documents related to the defendant's recruitment process for a Co-Head of M&A. The plaintiff alleged the hiring of the new Co-Head amounted to a demotion and constructive dismissal.
The court found the recruitment documents relevant to the plaintiff's allegations but limited production to documents concerning the successful candidate and one other top candidate to balance relevance with the privacy interests of non-parties and the principle of proportionality.
