On July 6, 2022, the applicant commenced employment with her employer pursuant to the terms of a one-year fixed-term contract agreement. Sometime before the end of that one-year term, the employer terminated the contract.
On March 27, 2023, the employee caused the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sitting at Hamilton to issue an Application against the employer for damages equal to the balance of the contract.
The employee’s application was heard less than three months later and on June 21, before the contract was even set to expire, she had her decision.
For those critical of the pace at which some litigation can move, the claim stands as proof that with proper advocacy things can get done.
