Ex Parte Ray Keith Wood. (in Re Black Creek, Inc. v. Ray Keith Wood)

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals’ judgment that had overturned a trial court finding of retaliatory discharge, holding that the appellate court erred because the employer presented undisputed legitimate reasons for termination and the trial court could have found pretext without reweighing the evidence. The Supreme Court remanded for further proceedings on damages and mental‑anguish awards.
