THE TOP TEN CASES ON WRONGFUL DISMISSAL AND EMPLOYMENT LAW: A ROUNDUP OF KEY DECISIONS

Thursday, March 11, 2010
12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST
Playback: Monday, March 15, 2010, 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT

Employment cases are countless, but knowledge of the landmark decisions will provide you with the foundation you need to master this area of law. On March 11, Lancaster's panel of experts will provide an in-depth analysis of the top ten employment law cases, and will arm you with the tools you need to use them to your best advantage. The cases to be discussed include:

• McKinley v. BC Tel: What is the factual test that courts will apply in assessing whether an employer has "just cause" for dismissal without notice? When will dishonesty be grounds for dismissal? Is a single instance of dishonesty sufficient?
• Farber v. Royal Trust Company and Evans v. Teamsters Local Union No. 31: When will a change to an employee's conditions of employment constitute constructive dismissal? Following discharge, does an employee have an obligation to accept an offer of another position with lesser status and pay? What if the position offered is with the discharging employer?
• Janzen v. Platy Enterprises Ltd. and Robichaud v. Canada (Treasury Board): What behaviour constitutes "sexual harassment" and what are the key elements that must be present? What is the extent of an employer's duty to provide a workplace free from harassment? What obligations does an employer have to take proactive measures to prevent harassment from occurring, and where harassment has already occurred, what obligations does an employer have to take measures to respond to, and provide a remedy for, the harassed employee?
