You don't think people should be obligated to report a crime, that's fine but I don't know how it will benefit the CBC if they are aware of criminal acts and turn the other cheek. I think that would hurt the CBCs image more than just about anything else

agreed, most if not all companies do that if they have a reputation to maintain and who doesn't.... and yes, he has broken that piece of the contract. even if he didn't sign a contract, he's screwed. I think the fine print may even say 'the appearance of impropriety" that covers almost anything they chose to make it cover...
If they have evidence that he did something illegal they would be obligated to hand it over to the police.
Actually it states "gross misconduct".
I think that fits.
I've hit several high end Toronto Law firms webpages, who've commented on the complaint, the consensus is, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. It all goes back to the union, based on precedent.
The CBC will quash his claim at the first reading.
they won't have an interpretation, it will be written by them, for them, iron clad, all sealed up by their myriad of lawyers that are on call for them 24/7
he doesn't have a prayer if he chooses to go in that direction unless someone there has done something incredibly stupid and under the circumstances of how this went down, i would doubt that
Nope, just made me laugh at you. I understand why you'd be so embarrassed though, lol.
Did they witness the crime or just hear about it? They are only obligated to report what they actually witness.
From what I understand the CBC was making money from him and only when his downside eclipsed his money making ability did they take action.
Tangible evidence, yes. He said, she said I don't think so.
I don't know what the CBC knew or didn't know. I'm only going by heresay. Nothing I've heard so far justifies his firing. That does not mean it wasn't justified. I'd just like to hear something more substantial than CB limited legal expertise and JLMs tantrums.
Not just, but do go on embarrassing yourself, lol.
I'm not sure what they could do with it. It would appear they may have withheld it to avoid actually being in breach of trust, without knowledge of an actual crime.
Or yours, lol.
I always find it funny when you play this game, lol.
They have every right to disassociate with a broadcaster that no longer maintains an image they want to be associated with. I am near positive that he would have had a morals clause in his contract. If he didn't the CBC deserves to lose the lawsuit although not sure how anybody would think the CBC has $50 million. They don't even have hockey anymore.
