I was terminated after 9 years of service with a company. They have claimed CCAA protection. I am 61 years old. The company in court filings has been accepted under weppa. It looks like the maximum amount of money offered under weppa is 8,500.00. Can I still CIVILLY SUE for severence and termination pay. I believe I should be entitled to more due to my age, etc.
The short answer is yes, but you are unlikely to recover much, if anything. Unfortunately, if it is under a CCAA proceedings any legal action would be stayed. You would ultimately be an unsecured creditor to the company.
