Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Employment law — Wrongful dismissal — Evidence — Jurisdiction — Whether the lower courts erred in dismissing the Applicant’s complaint for wrongful dismissal — Whether an employer precluded from invoking the poor conduct of an employee, as just and sufficient cause, if it has tolerated his/her poor behavior, over time.
The Applicant alleges he was wrongfully dismissed by the Respondent. In 2011, the “Commission des relations de travail (CRT)” rendered a first decision dismissing the Applicant’s complaint, finding that the latter had repudiated the terms of his employment contract. The Superior Court quashed that decision. In 2012, back before the CRT, the Board dismissed the Applicant’s complaint based on the same evidence. The Commissioner found that once a new compensation plan was introduced by the Respondent, the Applicant adopted a confrontational attitude towards the company, culminating in a meeting with the president in which the Applicant insulted him, leading to the Applicant’s dismissal. Both Commissioners in the two complaints set aside the wrongful dismissal allegation.
