Stephen Shamie Mentioned in The Globe and Mail
Hicks Morley’s Stephen Shamie was mentioned in the July 5, 2013 edition of The Globe and Mail in an article entitled “Wong ordered to repay settlement after breach of agreement with Globe.” Former Globe journalist Jan Wong, breached a confidentiality agreement with The Globe and was ordered to pay back an undisclosed severance payment, as ruled by arbitrator Louisa Davie. Represented by Shamie in the proceedings, The Globe issued a statement saying that it, “took this action on principle to protect the confidentiality of private negotiations with both its union and its staff and to maintain a system which respects the privacy of personnel matters”. Further, the repayment of the settlement funds would be donated to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.
