Employee Alleged Harassment Case - Chad Kelly

[Mulder]

I'm also curious how someone can claim "wrongful dismissal" when they have been hired on contract on a year to year basis. I don't know the law on this, but one would think it's the organization's prerogative to decide whether to offer an employee another contract and could likely defend themselves simply by saying they decided to go in another direction. I guess the basis of her claim is that Kelly was sexually harassing her and instead of doing anything about it, the Argos just decided not to renew her contract. But depending on if she has any evidence, it might be a hard thing to prove in court.

I believe there is precedent in Canadian Case law if the expectation is the contract being renewed, not 100% sure.

90%+ of these cases of wrongful dismissal never make it to trial.
