An employment contract provided for an employer to make payments in lieu of notice on termination of the contract, and for instant dismissal without such payment in appropriate cases. The contract also provided for the dismissal without notice for a failure to meet sales targets. But it was held that this right did not sufficiently clearly exclude the right to payment of three months’ salary in lieu of notice. The termination with immediate effect did not fall within other misconduct provisions.
