The Federal Court upheld a $185,000 award for punitive and aggravated damages to a 30 year employee who was subjected to harassing and threatening conduct by his employer’s executive director and then wrongfully dismissed without notice or cause. The punitive and aggravated damages were found to be appropriate in light of the employer’s “deliberate, despicable, and deceitful treatment” of the employee.
