What is the impact of dishonesty on an employment relationship?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Menard v. The Centre for International Governance Innovation, 2019 ONSC 858 (CanLII):
Even in cases of dishonesty, it is necessary to determine whether the misconduct is compatible with a continuation of the employment relationship: McKinely v. BC Tel, 2001 SCC 38 (CanLII), [2001] 2 S.C.R. 161. At para. 57, Iacobucci J. stated “Based on the foregoing consideration, I favour an analytical framework that examines each case on its own particular facts and circumstances, and considers the nature and seriousness of the dishonesty in order to assess whether it is reconcilable with sustaining the employment relationship.”
