WRONGFUL DISMISSAL

Wrongful dismissal refers to the improper termination of employment either through outright

dismissal (e.g., f‌iring) or through constructive dismissal (signif‌icantly altering an employee’s

job as to effectively redef‌ine it). Like employment law, this is an area of provincial jurisdiction

and is guided mostly by principles established in caselaw. Related topics: EMPLOYMENT

LAW, LABOUR LAW, TORTS.

CONGÉDIEMENT

Aspect particulier du droit du TRAVAIL. C’est dans le contexte particulier du contrat individuel

de travail que le problème se pose ; rappelons que ce contrat est l’un des contrats nommés

prévus au Code civil du Québec.
