Brocklehurst v. Micco Companies Limited

The termination clause was ambiguous under the required high standard and did not expressly limit common law reasonable notice; applying the Bardal factors the appropriate notice period is eight months; commissions and benefits are payable during the notice period because the only written SIP applied to the 2016 fiscal year and did not unambiguously deprive the employee of common law entitlements; mitigation was not proven to reduce the award; damages were quantified at $53,333.33 before deductions, with prejudgment interest and costs to follow.
