SUMMARY:Extraordinary Harms\, Extraordinary Remedies: Learning from exceptional damage awards in human rights and arbitration cases
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nJeff Palamar\nArbitrator and Lawyer\nTaylor McCaffrey \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nThelma Zindoga\nEmployer Counsel\nBlake\, Cassels & Graydon LLP \n\n\n \nBalraj Dosanjh\nPensions Counsel\nCavalluzzo LLP \n\n\nIn recent years\, we have seen an upward trend in damages awards\, with employers paying a steep price for failing to meet their legal obligations in the workplace. In this webinar\, a panel of experts will examine recent caselaw where exceptional damages have been made\, and will address the following questions: \n\nWhat are the different kinds of damages an employee may seek? General? Moral? Harm to dignity? Aggravated? Punitive?\nDo arbitrators and tribunals have the authority to award the same kinds of damages as the courts?\nIn what circumstances will a decision maker order damages for the failure to investigate? Can a decision-maker order damages for the failure to investigate where it has determined that no human rights violation occurred?\nWhen are employers at risk of aggravated damage awards?\nWhat evidentiary threshold does an employee have to meet to support an award of aggravated damages?\nWhat kind of conduct will justify an award of punitive damages? For example\, when will this kind of award be made in a case involving bullying and harassment or termination? What can employers do to guard against punitive damages?\nWhen will a damages award amount to double recovery?\nWhat considerations will courts take into account in assessing an employee’s duty to mitigate their losses?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours under Category A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1.5 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.
