McMahon v Maximizer Services Inc.

The plaintiff, Mary McMahon, filed a summary trial application seeking damages for an alleged wrongful dismissal from Maximizer Services Inc. She claimed that she was recruited by a former colleague, Christopher Barry, to work at Maximizer and had a written employment agreement. McMahon argued that the termination clause in the agreement was unenforceable and sought damages equivalent to six months' pay. The court examined the enforceability of the termination clause, found it to be valid, and determined that Maximizer complied with its terms when dismissing McMahon. The court also concluded that the termination clause did not violate employment standards legislation. Therefore, Ms. McMahon was not wrongfully dismissed.
