Background:
Randi MacDonald sued the Saskatoon Minor Basketball Association (SMBA) following the termination of her role as Executive Director in 2021. SMBA argued she was an independent contractor, while MacDonald claimed she was an employee entitled to reasonable notice.

Key Legal Issues:

1. Employment Status: The court determined that MacDonald was an employee, not an independent contractor, based on the exclusivity, control, and dependence within her role.
2. Reasonable Notice: MacDonald sought 24 months' notice ($96,960). The court ruled she was entitled to 19 months of salary after accounting for three months of working notice.
3. Termination Clause Validity: SMBA’s contractual termination clause limiting notice to 1.5 months was deemed unenforceable as it violated statutory minimums.
4. Duty of Good Faith: MacDonald claimed SMBA breached its duty of good faith during her termination, citing humiliation. The court found no evidence of bad faith.
5. Mitigation of Damages: SMBA argued MacDonald failed to mitigate her losses. The court disagreed, finding insufficient evidence to support this claim.

Outcome and Costs:
The court awarded MacDonald 19 months' salary, with the exact amount to be calculated later. Additionally, SMBA was ordered to pay $3,000 in costs to MacDonald. Her claim for $50,000 in moral and aggravated damages was dismissed.
