Fantastic -- thanks for the link! There really isn't any way to defend against it, and since Mark has never denied the debt, it should go a long way toward showing the basis for owing it.

I doubt they'll help you with the bonus situation, they might try but in the end I think that's that's contract issue (2 year limit for court) and not wages - something I kinda think Mark might win on a technicality in court, although you probably deserve it, I'm betting you loose there, but the wages I'd say you have about a very good chance of getting. Our governments here go ape shit over wages if Mark deducted taxes and such from your payments as an employee or claimed you in any way as an employee and not as a contractor. Go for it, they usually don't require you to get a lawyer either, they represent you so it's no cost to you to ask and look into it.
didn't know it was 5 years for non canadians.... phone call was worth it 
let me know what happens, curious
advise - file separate claims for the wages and bonus - do not include them together. too risky to loose the wages on a bonus technical issue.
