Defendant failed to discharge the burden of proving on the balance of probabilities that the Plaintiff induced the seven agents to leave; the Plaintiff's credible evidence and plausible non‑inducement explanations (standard resignation letter practice, low branch morale, prior earlier resignation, and recruitment approach by AIA) made alternative inferences more probable; no adverse inference was drawn for failure to call the agents. Judgment entered for Plaintiff, termination declared wrongful, and inquiry ordered to quantify outstanding commission and remuneration.
