Supreme Court held that a manager's services to a competitor violate the duty of care, justifying dismissal without notice.

The Supreme Court set aside the lower court's dismissal of the employer's appeal regarding the termination of a managing director's contract. The employer argued that the director's provision of insurance brokerage services to a competitor and use of company assets constituted a serious breach of duty. The court found the lower court's reasoning insufficient because it failed to properly assess whether these actions violated the specific non-compete agreement and the general duty of care owed by a manager.
