“We won! We won against Air Canada. We won the whole thing. David won against Goliath. A 14-year battle, friends.” In her 154-page decision, Judge Hivon ordered the airline to compensate workers for the loss of income and employment, as well as for the loss of social benefits. However, Judge Hivon found that the former Aveos employees had not demonstrated that the collapse of Aveos was caused by bad faith or wilful misconduct of Air Canada. She therefore dismissed the claim of $110 million in punitive damages.Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamIn a written statement, Air Canada said it had “always acted in good faith in this case” and noted that the court concluded the company did not cause Aveos’ collapse, rejecting the punitive damages.
