Cory J. ‑‑ The appeal is allowed with costs to the appellant in this Court and in the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal.
The judgment of the Court of Appeal is set aside and the matter is remitted to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court to determine the reasonable notice which should have been given to the appellant for wrongful dismissal. We do not accept any argument relating to near cause.
This disposition is without prejudice to the respondent’s bringing any separate action to address any claims it may have against the appellant apart from reducing the period of reasonable notice owing to the appellant.
