An employee in British Columbia has won $81,100 in damages after the Supreme Court there ruled that she was wrongfully dismissed over a “strongly worded” email.
Kavita Lefebvre was hired as a Departmental Administrator by Gisborne Holdings Ltd in April 2022 to replace an employee on parental leave.
The employment dispute stems from Lefebvre’s email to HR manager Ian Gibson, where she responded to his email that summarised their meeting on June 30.
