The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision finding the employer guilty of intentional fault for partial non-payment of overtime wages. The plaintiff argued that any failure to pay constitutes a serious breach, while the employer contended that the dispute over specific overtime entitlements justified withholding the disputed amount. The court ruled that assessing the employer's intent requires considering the collective agreement and the disputed nature of the claim, rather than automatically assuming malice.
