Summary:
In the employer's opinion, the claimant was dismissed for acquiring and selling to the employer's customers the same merchandise that the employer was selling. The claimant explained that he sold clothing that was completely different from the clothing his employer sold. The Commission determined that the claimant's behaviour, namely, the fact that he had set up a business in competition with his employer, constituted misconduct because it broke the bond of trust between the claimant and his employer. The claimant explained that there was no contract of employment had been signed with the employer that included a ban on selling products. The products sold by the claimant for his own profit were also promotional products with the Montreal Canadiens. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
