Question
Accounting
Paul, an associate and not a partner, worked as an accountant for a very large accounting firm, called Griffen and Griffen LLP for the last 10 years. When he signed his contract of employment with the accounting firm he agreed to accept 6 weeks termination notice. Recently, a new partner at the firm, Dave, had taken over responsibility for Paul's work. It seems as though Dave did not like Paul and was constantly applying more pressure and demand on Paul than he had ever received before.
He often embarrassed Paul in front of his co workers for poor performance. He also moved his desk to the area where the secretaries work and took away a lot of his long standing client accounts substituting them for administrative tasks like photocopying and purchasing coffee for the partners. After 6 months of this treatment Paul had taken enough and told Dave that he was going to quit and would be suing the firm for $1 million dollars. Dave laughed and replied that since he quit he was not entitled to any money or at the very least the 8 weeks he agreed to in his employment contract. (10 Marks)
