After seven years' service, he is dismissed because the Board of Directors can no longer stand his prickly, arrogant personality and behaviour.

Howard is stung by these accusations, and goes into a serious depression which lasts nearly a year. Howard brings an action for wrongful dismissal, which VBC vigorously defends. It is not until the third day of trial that the defendants admit that the dismissal was without cause. What damages would Howard likely be awarded?
