Sold Company and new buyer assumed the employees, now one employee is suing me for wrongful dismissal because the new owner won't pay the employee what is legally his, the employee is suing both me and the new owner

Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

Once the new owner employs your employees, it assumes the liabilities associated with those employees, and so you should not have been brought into this lawsuit.

If you are located in British Columbia or Ontario, please contact us at the number below or contact me at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca. I practice in both jurisdictions and would be pleased to assist you with this situation.
