What Happened in Felix vs. Weber Metals Reconsideration?
The plaintiff, a marketing manager for Rushmore & Weber, Inc., was terminated after expressing his intent to exercise a stock option. He sued the company and its president, Peter B. Weber, for breach of his employment contract and intentional interference with his stock option agreement. The trial court dismissed the intentional interference claim, ruling that all agreements formed a single contract, precluding interference by a party to that contract. A jury found that the plaintiff was terminated for "good cause" as defined in his employment contract, citing poor performance and misconduct. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision, finding no error in dismissing the intentional interference claim and upholding the jury's verdict as supported by evidence.
