Issue : Mr. David Potter was contracted as the Executive Director of Legal Aid Services Commission in New Brunswick for a seven-year-long term. A little after halfway through the duration of the contract, the two parties did not see to eye and were seeking for an early termination and began negotiations. However, during that period Mr. Potter had taken a sick leave and the Commission promptly replaced him without waiting until the negotiation was over and the chairperson believe that it would be in the best interest of the Commission to terminate Mr. Potter for cause.

Once Mr. Potter filed an action against the Commission for constructive dismissal his salary and benefits were cut-off assuming that he had taken that action to confirm his resignation from the Board.

Furthermore, there were differences between the two designs including the dimensions of a glass roof on the building, the absence of ornamental ribbons in the defendant’s design, and additional balconies that were not present in the plaintiff’s designs. The court viewed these differences as substantial enough so that no reasonable person would view the structures as being substantially similar. As such, the court concluded that even in the pleading stages of litigation (before discovery), the trial court did not err in dismissing the claim.

Once the tribunal has made a decision, an award can be given. This can include compensation, payment of wages or any money that is due to the employee. Reinstatement and re-engagement are also a choice but both of these are very rare. Judgment may not always be given on the day of the hearing.

The statutory claim for unfair dismissal recognises that the common law cannot give adequate protection to the employees through the contract of employment, in that wrongful dismissal claim depends upon a breach of contract of the employment, usually in the form of inadequate notice being given by the employer. Many dismissals can be considered unfair that do not amount to the breach of the contract, for the wrongful dismissal claims look not to intention, motive, or the effect on an employee of a termination of the relationship nor to the procedural protections, but merely to the form of in which that relationship has been brought to the end.
