Café La Foret fired ex-head baker Song Hwan Cho, 60, after reports he had sexually harassed a 28-year-old female co-worker. His $40.6K wrongful dismissal award was upheld by the BC Court of Appeal this week.
Burnaby’s Café La Foret has lost an appeal of $40,600 in damages awarded to a baker it fired for sexual harassment in 2020.
Lee told a manager that Cho had touched her upper back, shoulders and buttocks while they were standing next to each other at the restaurant’s bakery station counter on Nov. 9, 2020. Cho testified the affidavit had made him out to be a “sexual offender,” and Shergill said La Foret had exposed him to “serious legal jeopardy” since the incident had been reported to the police.
