The Courts Below
London Drugs succeeded at first instance at the British Columbia Supreme Court, where the trial judge found the employees personally liable for the full amount of the damages, limiting the company's liability to $40. That judgment was reversed in part on appeal to the British Columbia Court of Appeal, where, in a majority decision, the employees' liability was reduced to $40.
London Drugs appealed this decision and the respondent employees cross‑appealed, arguing that they should be completely free of liability.
