3 Real-Life Lessons in How Not to Hire – or Fire – An Employee | Webinar | McInnes Cooper
On February 15, 2023, a New Brunswick adjudicator awarded Dr. John Dornan, the suddenly dismissed CEO of N.B. Health Authority, what might be the “largest employment compensation” ever awarded in the province: about $2M, including $200K in aggravated damages. The much-publicized decision in Dornan v. New Brunswick (Health) is a case study in how not to hire or to fire an employee. Why wasn’t the termination clause in the written employment contract enforceable to limit the compensation for lost salary? How did the adjudicator calculate the compensation for lost wages? What was the basis for the award of “Wallace” damages” against the employer?
Join McInnes Cooper Labour & Employment Lawyers Ian Pickard and Megan Thompson for a virtual roundtable conversation, led by your questions, about the decision in Dornan v. New Brunswick (Health) and three key lessons you can learn from it.
