Online Casino Transfer: News - McDougald Makes a Deal

01/15/2010		Online Casino Style: News McDougald makes a Deal
Home History Games News Dictionary		Whether it’s the nature of the beast in getting resolution of the online gambling industry, or just the nature of the courts, after two years, a final decision has finally been made in regards to the wrongful dismissal of the former CEO for one of the biggest gambling names in Canada. The former leader for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, Kelly McDougald, has managed to come through on the winning side of her litigation efforts, settling for a sum of Canadian $747,925 just before the year ended. After two years, a resolution has finally set the issue to rest, though the news of the settlement continues to spread like wildfire through the internet gambling community. McDougald was making around $400,000 annually when she was let go from her position as chief executive officer at the Ontario firm, allegedly after a series of questions arose surrounding expenses. While officials never filed an official investigation into the questionable expenses, McDougald lost her position and was let go without severance pay, according to Canada.com. She retaliated by going to the courts, suing her former employer for $8 million, claiming she was fired because she refused to fire senior colleagues. Her settlement of nearly three quarters of a million apparently is enough to satisfy the wrongdoing, and came as a result of mitigation meetings with a court facilitator, who just happened to be a retired judge. The agreement also includes a provision that forces McDougald to withdraw all of her lawsuits against the Ontario Lottery and Gaming corporation as well as the regional government.
