5. Fisher v. Lakeland Mills Ltd. 2005 BC S.C. 64 (CanLII) 5.

Mrs. Fisher had worked for Lakeland for 15 years when she turned 65 in 2002. She asked and

received assurance that she could work for the company for as long as she wanted. In 2003 she was

required to do extra training and acquire computer skills. She had difficulty with the new demands

and felt great pressure to retire and finally did so.

She stated that she felt her immediate supervisor "wanted to get rid of her because she couldn't do

the job." When she talked to the president of the company, he did nothing to change this impression.

After retiring she considered what had happened and sued for wrongful dismissal. State the

arguments supporting each position and the likely outcome.
