for the record Lawsuit of the week Ousted Securiguard COO claims company wrongfully dismissed him after less than a year Darryl Davis is suing corporate security firm Securiguard Services Ltd. claiming he was wrongfully dismissed as chief operating officer after less than a year on the job. Davis filed a notice of civil claim in BC Supreme Court on August 28. He claims he started at Securiguard as COO on November 1, 2013, at $150,000 a year plus other benefits, including participation in a profitsharing plan, estimated at the time to be around $20,000 to $30,000 a year. In fiscal 2013-2014, Davis’ share was to be more than $50,000, according to the claim. But on June 30, Davis claims he was wrongfully dismissed without just cause and without reasonable notice or pay in lieu. “The wrongful dismissal constituted an arbitrary and willful breach of the plaintiff’s contract of employment with the defendant,” the claim states. Davis says he didn’t receive his bonus and has incurred expenses while trying to mitigate the damage, but he hasn’t been able to find a comparable job since being fired. He seeks unspecified general and special damages for breach of contract and wrongful dismissal. The allegations have not been tested in court and Securiguard had not filed a response by press time.
