Employment contracts may be terminated without cause, or with cause.  A ‘without cause’ termination requires lawful notice of termination to be provided.  A ‘with cause’ termination is reserved for matters of serious employee misconduct where notice of termination may be highly prejudicial or damaging to an employer’s business interests. In a wrongful dismissal action, a former employee claims that the notice period provided by the employer (or the absence thereof) is deficient.

BLC provides strategic and privileged legal advice to help employers avoid wrongful dismissal lawsuits by advising on notice periods and misconduct issues that may give rise to a ‘with cause’ termination. We defend and prosecute wrongful dismissal suits when necessary.
