Which of the following statements best reflects the reasons for the appeal court's decision? Select one: O a. The appellant employer honestly believed that it had just cause to dismiss the respondent but did not act in time, so the dismissal was wrongful O b. The trial judge correctly awarded the $1.6 million in damages for the loss to the plaintiff's reputation and book of business or goodwill, which would not be compensated for by an award of damages in lieu of notice. O c. The appellant deliberately delayed and then structured the dismissal, all in order to get the plaintiff's clients. This deception justified the extraordinary award of additional damages. Od. The award of $16 million has no basis in law. it purports to compensate for matters which the law does not recognize as compensable it lacks a factual basis and it appears to contain an element of double counting for the lack of reasonable notice
