Takaki V. Allied Machinery Corp‪.‬

We hold that Plaintiff-Appellant Alan Y. Takaki (Takaki) may not maintain an action for wrongful discharge in violation of a clear mandate of public policy, first recognized in our jurisdiction in Parnar v. Americana Hotels, 65 Haw. 370, 380, 652 P.2d 625, 631 (1982), because, with respect to his discharge, Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 378-32 (1993) already evidences a public policy against terminating an employee solely because of a work injury, and HRS § 378-35 (1993) provides a remedy for violating that policy. We affirm, therefore, the April 6, 1995 order of the first circuit court (the court) granting summary judgment against Takaki on his Parnar claim in count three of his first amended complaint (the amended complaint).
