T.W. CAPP Co.

Toronto


Tuesday, of last week, the Divisional Court, of Toronto, Ont., delivered judgment in an appeal case involving the right of an employer to discharge an employe working under contract for a yearly engagement. The action was brought by W. Clark, a mounter of jewelry, who was induced to come from England to work for the T. W. Capp Co., manufacturing jewelers, of Toronto. After two weeks’ service he signed an agreement binding him to work for the company for a year. Everything ran smoothly for five months, when Clark did some work which did not satisfy his employers and he was fined $1.45. He claimed that the company had no right to do this and consulted a lawyer, who wrote a letter demanding that Clark be paid in full for his work, whereupon the firm paid the money and dismissed Clark. The latter then sued for damages for the violation of the agreement and obtained a judgment for $125, from which the company appealed. The court sustained the judgment and dismissed the appeal, holding that Clark had not been offensive and had acted within his legal rights and that an isolated failure in maintaining the standard of workmanship did not justify dismissal.
