1. What factors should an employer consider when deciding to terminate the employment contract for just cause? Do you think Hydro One had sufficient cause to fire this employee? Why or why not?

2.Typically, an employee who believes they were terminated without cause or reasonable notice may choose to file a wrongful dismissal suit.

The binding decision was to reinstate the employee, that is, he was rehired. Do you agree with this decision? Why or why not?
