Case Background:

  • The plaintiff provides transportation services and luggage storage for airline crews and travelers.
  • Defendant Saied Moghadam, former general manager, was terminated after financial irregularities were discovered.
  • A special resolution appointed Saraya Moghadam as the sole director, leading to Saied Moghadam's termination on July 20, 2023.

Legal Motions:

  • December 6, 2023: The plaintiff filed for an interlocutory injunction to prevent the defendant from interfering with business and for the return of company property, including two vehicles.
  • Defendant's Position: Consent to most reliefs but refused to return vehicles, arguing accepted family use of company vehicles.

Court Decisions:

  • Justice Williams: Ordered the return of vehicles, highlighting the lack of company consent for the defendant’s use post-termination.

    • Ownership and value of vehicles established via registration certificates and invoices.
    • Defendant’s employment was terminated; vehicles were not returned.

Defendant's Claims:

  • Mother’s Consent: Provided hearsay affidavit from his mother, which was not legally authoritative.
  • Wrongful Termination: Alleged wrongful termination entitling continued vehicle use; court stated compensation possible only if wrongful dismissal proven.
  • Family Legal Action: Defendant's mother filed an application alleging fraudulent directorship by Saraya Moghadam. Court maintained Saraya’s current directorship until proven otherwise.

Court Order:

  • Vehicles must be returned by July 15, 2024.

  • Costs: Plaintiff awarded $10,000 in costs, payable within 30 days.
