A judge has rejected the appeal of former Maritime College of Forest Technology instructor Rod Cumberland, who had previously lost a lawsuit in 2023 claiming wrongful dismissal. While this original lawsuit resulted in Cumberland being awarded over $55K in severance and legal costs, he more recently sought a higher award through an appeal. Justice Bradley Green of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal rejected this appeal, stating that the trial judge had already dismissed Cumberland’s theory of wrongful dismissal. “The decision was thorough and comprehensive, and the trial judge clearly had a firm grasp of the issues, arguments, and evidence before her,” wrote Green.
