Carter v $1657593$ Ontario Inc. involved the termination of a $20-$year service employee for alleged cause after he purchased a stake in a bar that the employers believed created a conflict of interest with his position at their Inn. In that case the court held that:

His employers had just cause because the employee called in sick while he was actually working at his recently purchased bar

His employers did not have just cause because there was no actual conflict of interest between his position and his purchase of a stake in a bar in a neighbouring community

His employers had just cause because they had reasonable grounds for believing that he had a conflict of interest

His employers did not have just cause because they were acting in bad faith
