Supreme Court held that damages for premature termination under Employment Contracts Act s. 51(1) are not premature post-judgment.

The Supreme Court ruled that an employee's claim for damages under the Employment Contracts Act s. 51(1) for premature termination is not premature even if filed after the lower court's judgment. The court found that the statutory right to compensation arises immediately upon termination, making the claim valid regardless of procedural delays. Consequently, the court allowed the claim and determined that interest payments should commence from the date of termination.
