Question juridique clé
Whether the municipality's immediate termination of employment violated the employee's right to be heard.
Solution extraite
No. Given the circumstances, the employee and his counsel knew that immediate dismissal was being considered and had a real opportunity to comment.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted the factual findings that the dismissal had been discussed before the municipal meeting. The seriousness of the allegations, the employee's own admissions, the time pressure, and counsel's email exchange meant no formal additional deadline was required.
