SUMMARY:Wrongful Dismissal Update: Recent court decisions you need to know about
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nSheilagh Murphy\nArbitrator\, Mediator\, and Independent Workplace Investigator\nMacNab Fagan & Murphy \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nKimberly Boara Alexander\nEmployee Counsel\nKBA Partners LLP \n\n\n \nDianne Rideout\nEmployer Counsel\nCassels Brock & Blackwell LLP \n\n\nIn this webinar\, panelists will examine noteworthy wrongful dismissal decisions from the past year\, providing a comprehensive update on key cases and cross-country trends. The webinar will address topics such as: \n\nWhat types of conduct have been found to amount to “just cause” in recent cases? In what circumstances have employers successfully relied on “after-acquired cause”?\nWhat words or phrasing have courts found may invalidate a termination clause in an employment contract? How do courts differ between provinces in terms of their approach to interpreting such clauses and their willingness to uphold or declare them void?\nAre terms added to an employment offer after it is signed enforceable? Is the existence or the adequacy of a quid pro quo (consideration) determinative of whether an employment contract is binding?\nWill an invalid termination clause in an employment contract render the fixed-term provisions of the contract void?\nCan an employer claim that an employment contract has been frustrated due to economic hardship alone?\nCan an employer be found to have repudiated a contract as a result of its conduct when terminating an individual’s employment?\nWhat factors have courts considered in recent cases when determining whether an employee has satisfied the duty to mitigate? Are employees working under a fixed-term contract subject to the duty to mitigate?\nWhat types of conduct have prompted courts to award aggravated/moral or punitive damages in recent cases?\nWhat lessons can be learned from recent unjust dismissal cases? Can employees who have been unjustly dismissed be awarded both statutory severance pay and damages for lost wages?\n\nTopics will be finalized in the weeks prior to the webinar\, ensuring coverage of the latest and most important developments. \nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\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 for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\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.
