Wrongful Dismissal: SNC-Lavalin

SNC-Lavalin: The engineering giant is defending itself against a nearly $1 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by former controller Stephane Roy, according to CTV. "They committed serious acts, outside their normal duties and without the knowledge of their superiors, in violation of SNC-Lavalin's code of conduct and in the blatant and total disregard of the policies and controls in place," it said and MONTREAL -- SNC-Lavalin says it was justified in firing a former executive last year because it claims he acted illegally to help smuggle the son of Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi to Mexico. In a 16-page statement of defence filed in Quebec Superior Court, SNC-Lavalin said Roy and former executive Riadh Ben Aissa plotted to help Saadi Gadhafi and his family to flee Libya without its knowledge.
