In Bertsch v Datastealth Inc, the Superior Court confirmed the enforceability of an ESA-minimum termination clause that excluded common law notice periods. This decision, resulting from a Rule 21 motion to strike, marks a welcome shift for employers in the court’s longstanding reluctance to uphold termination provisions in employment contracts.

The Court of Appeal for Ontario (“ONCA”) will hear the appeal of Dufault v The Corporation of the Township of Ignace (“Dufault”) this Friday. While Ontario courts previously recognized that creating jurisprudence based on hypothetical situations is a slippery slope, since the decision in Waksdale v Swegon North America Inc, courts in Ontario have repeatedly invalidated termination clauses in employment agreements by considering hypothetical breaches of employment standards legislation.
