Lawsuit Against CCA Dismissed

The lawsuit launched by Ed Arzouian against the CCA was dismissed in court yesterday, with the judge concluding that Mr Arzouian had no grounds to pursue compensation for unlawful termination last year from his position with the Road Worlds organization.

CCA Acting Director General Brett Stewart stated "It is always regrettable when circumstances lead to litigation. Mr. Arzouian did not agree with the grounds of his termination last year, leading to his decision to seek compensation from the CCA. The CCA was confident that the termination was lawful, and this position was successfully defended in court earlier this week".
