Facts: Jane Doe, an employee of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), claimed constructive dismissal after reporting serious sexual assault and workplace harassment by a colleague.
Issue: Doe sought damages for breach of contract, fiduciary duty, and violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, challenging the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act which mandates the use of internal grievance mechanisms for resolving federal employment disputes.
Court's Ruling: The court dismissed Doe's claims, reinforcing that the comprehensive legislative scheme for federal employment grievances precludes civil litigation and emphasizing the necessity of exhausting internal resolution processes.
Costs/Damages Awarded: The document does not specify the amount of costs or damages awarded to the successful party, which in this case would be the defendant, the Attorney General of Canada, due to the dismissal of Doe's claims.
