In Boyer v. Callidus Capital Corporation (Ont CA, 2025) the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal, this from a plaintiff-successful employment claim which "sought relief in respect of certain employment-related benefits, including: payment of accrued and unpaid vacation pay; stock options; and deferred bonus payments".
Here the court briefly sets out the basics of wrongful dismissal law:
[30] Under Canadian law, an employer who wishes to terminate a contract of employment without cause must give the employee reasonable notice of its intention to do so or, alternatively, provide the employee with pay in lieu of reasonable notice. If the employer has just cause to terminate the contract of employment, no notice is required: Stacey Reginald Ball, Canadian Employment Law (Toronto: Thompson Reuters, 2023), at ยง8:8.
