  • Facts: Michael Scott filed a wrongful dismissal claim against Fresh Tracks (Canada) Inc. The dispute includes whether Scott was fired or resigned, and whether Fresh Tracks had an after-acquired cause for dismissal. There were cross-applications about the examination for discovery method.
  • Issue: The main issues were whether Scott was wrongfully dismissed or resigned, and if the examination for discovery should be conducted virtually or in person.
  • Court's Ruling: The court ruled in favor of conducting the examination for discovery virtually, considering it appropriate and not prejudicial to Fresh Tracks' defense. It also required Michael Scott to produce specific financial documents related to his engagements with other companies during his employment period.
  • Costs/Damages Awarded: No specific amount of costs or damages was awarded to either party; each party was ordered to bear their own costs for the applications.
