Case: Individual Employment Rights/Wrongful Discharge (Pa. Super. Ct.)

The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed a judgment in favor of Thomas Chevrolet on a wrongful termination claim brought by an auto body technician who alleged he was fired for refusing to commit insurance fraud in violation of state public policy, finding no error in the trial court’s decisions to deny a specific jury instruction on the Cat’s Paw theory, refuse to strike a juror with a distant familial relationship to a witness, and exclude evidence of post-termination allegations against the supervisor by other employees.
