What is the case law in favour of reducing the workload of a senior executive to a single position?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Mate v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Ltd., 1996 CanLII 291 (BC SC):

55 Counsel also relies on the following passage taken from another Ontario case, Gillespie v. Ontario Motor League Toronto Club, set out at page 80 in Black: A corporate organization, an employer, can surely re-align its structure from time to time as, in its view, circumstances require. A company may feel that one of its executives, who is performing several functions, should, more properly, be restricted to one or some of those functions, thus giving him more time and energy to devote to certain of them. A company is not to be considered to be locked into any particular arrangement that it may institute at a particular time in its history.
