Wrongful dismissal-Waksdale v Swegon Pt. 1

In Waksdale v Swegon, the plaintiff's job was terminated without cause. He was given termination pay in accordance to his employment contract. However, he was not satisfied with this amount, so he sued the employer for more money. He argued that since the portion of the clause governing just cause termination is invalid, the portion governing the without cause termination, (which applied in his case), should also be invalid. The Ontario Superior Court had ruled in favour of the employer. However, the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned the ruling!
