Rising Tide of Human Rights Damages (Complimentary Webinar)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Complimentary Webinar, June 25, 2014, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. ET, including Q&A

Description:

In a number of recent decisions, human rights tribunals have shattered records for damages awarded to employees.  These Tribunals have taken new approaches to well-established legal doctrines that have resulted in awards that might well be impossible in front of a court, and could result in a dramatic increase in liability for employers.

The Webinar will cover:

• A review of the leading cases from across the country
• The startling increase in the size of lost wage awards for former employees
• The new approach of human rights tribunals towards general damages awards for hurt feelings and loss of dignity and self-respect
• The possible use of damages normally reserved for personal injury cases in human rights proceedings
• The impacts of these awards in wrongful dismissal actions
