Don't Gamble: Leave No Stone Unturned When Seeking Fulsome Documentary Disclosure

The termination of one's employment is often unexpected and, when it occurs, is typically effective immediately. Even further from an employee's mind is the contemplation of litigation following a termination.

As such, by the time the terminated employee meets with a lawyer to discuss the prospects of a wrongful dismissal lawsuit, they no longer have possession of, or access to, any of the company's records, including emails, policies, and financial information. That is why, upon the commencement of a lawsuit, the employee needs to ensure that their former employer provides any and all relevant information regarding the employee's tenure and subsequent termination. Otherwise, they risk being unable to prove the merits of their case on the basis of a lack of clear evidence.
