Publisher Description

BRACHTENBACH, J.--Issues in this employment termination case include whether the jury should have been instructed about what constitutes just cause for firing a "high ranking" employee; whether the employee's diary entries are admissible as evidence of just cause for dismissal; whether there was sufficient evidence to support a claim based on promissory estoppel; and, whether the trial court improperly dismissed the employee's claims of wrongful discharge in violation of public policy and negligent misrepresentation. We conclude that the trial court did not err in refusing to give the jury instruction, that there is no reversible error resulting from the trial court's exclusion of the diary entries, and that there was insufficient evidence to support the promissory estoppel claim. We uphold the dismissal of the public policy wrongful discharge claim and the negligent misrepresentation claim. The Court of Appeals decision in this case is affirmed in part and reversed in part, and this matter is remanded for recalculation of Plaintiff's attorney fee award.
