Provincial Law: Beverley Maxwell

Beverley Maxwell: Justice Ronald Skolrood said in a ruling posted online Friday that Beverley Maxwell's employment with the B.C. College of Teachers ended because the agency that regulated the profession was dissolved under a provincial law, and the 60-year-old is entitled to severance in accordance with her contract, according to Huffington Post. "Absent a clear and express provision to the contrary in the act, that intent, and the college's now the Crown's corresponding obligation, continue in force." VANCOUVER - A former employee of the now defunct teachers' college is entitled to more than $312,000 in severance and benefits from the provincial government, says a B.C. Supreme Court judge. "It is apparent from reading the contract as a whole ... that the intent of the severance provision was to provide Ms. Maxwell, as a senior management employee of the college, with a measure of financial security in the event that her employment was terminated," wrote Skolrood.
