Are there any cases where a director resigned but failed to inform employees for 2 months that the company was no longer operating?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bell v. British Columbia (Director of Employment Standards), 1995 CanLII 530 (BC SC):
28 In that case, the directors resigned, but failed to inform the employees for the 2 months following, that the company was no longer operating with a controlling directorship. The court held that such conduct precluded them from denying liability for vacation pay accrued in the interval. Brown v. Shearer is an estoppel case, but it must be distinguished on its facts.
