Now for the more lawyery response. It all depends. Was it a question asked during the interview? Did it happen more than once? What was the full context?

It's likely that if this was a private business, with no pr side to it, that it wouldn't amount to a cause termination. It would lead to disciplinary measures, but likely would not be cause.

The real question is if this was misconduct that has caused irreparable harm to the employment relationship. It just might have because of the profile of the job.

If you're willing to elaborate further, follow-up question:

If I understand the situation, Peters was with the Hawks organization when dealing with Aliu at the time in question. Can the Flames (or any employer I guess) discipline or fire Peters for something wrong he did while employed somewhere else?

I'm no expert, but I find that strange. Kind makes a person's whole career seem like a trial where the judge is whoever happens to employ them at the moment.
