Alison Redford set to sue Alberta Government for wrongful dismissal

[Dion]

Former premier Alison Redford intends to sue the government of Alberta for wrongful dismissal.

The former premier believes that because she was given a "work plan" by the leadership of the province's Progressive Conservative government and then forced to step aside before actually having a chance to prove she could do the job as set out in the plan. Her lawsuit has a strong chance of success, said a spokesperson for the former premier.

"We expect the combined damages to be larger than the sum being sought by Allaudin Merali," the spokesperson said. Merali, a former chief financial officer of Alberta Health Services who was fired by Redford's government for approved expense claims properly filed to another employer, is seeking more than $6 million in damages.

Redford, who is travelling, could not be reached for comment.

lol

Redford, who for the moment remains the MLA for Calgary-Elbow, will be claiming compensatory damages for the impact of the dismissal on her future earning ability and for the loss of the custom-built apartment in Edmonton's restored Federal Building, in which she had expected to live with her daughter.
