What is the quantum of bad faith damages awarded by a jury at the Superior Court of Justice for an additional three months of notice?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stewart v. Knoll North America Corp., 2007 BCCA 11 (CanLII):
The jury awarded bad faith damages for three additional months of notice based on Wallace v. United Grain Growers, 1997 CanLII 332 (SCC), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 701. I do not understand the appellants to be contending that this award was inadequate. However, they say that the trial judge should also have left punitive damages with the jury as a separate head of damages.
