Bilbo Baggins of the Shire, Saskatchewan joined Orc Industries Corp. on December 25, 2006. He was 31 years old when he was hired to assist with the construction of a foundry where metal helmets would be made near Middle Earth, Ontario. Bilbo had been running a similar operation in Shire, Saskatchewan but left on the assurance that Orc Industries Corp. was a viable business. By April of 2007, Bilbo had succeeded in lining up a general contractor and subcontractors, as well as design specialists, to build the new foundry. He had negotiated a collective agreement with a union that would supply the construction workers. He negotiated another collective agreement with another union for the prospective employees who would work at the foundry......CLICK HERE TO GET MORE ON THIS ESSAY!!!

Can Bilbo successfully sue for wrongful dismissal? Why or why not? If he can successfully sue for wrongful dismissal, what would be reasonable notice in his situation? What factors would the courts consider in awarding a period of notice to Bilbo if he were to be successful? What would the likely outcome be?
