Court throws out 'toonie' lawsuit against Tim's
TORONTO (CBC) - The so-called "stolen toonie lawsuit" against Tim Hortons has come to an end.
The Ontario Court of Appeal has dismissed the multimillion-dollar lawsuit, launched by a former employee at the doughnut shop.
Charlene Walsh was fired in 1999 after being seen on a security video taking some change from the till.
Walsh has always maintained the toonie was a tip, which she put into her tip cup.
She was acquitted of a theft charge but brought a civil suit against Tim Hortons and the Toronto Police Service for wrongful dismissal and malicious prosecution.
A jury dismissed her $10-million lawsuit two years ago.
The Court of Appeal has upheld that decision.
