John Boman v. City of Gadsden

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the Etowah Circuit Court’s summary‑judgment granting judgment for the City of Gadsden. The Court held that Boman failed to establish an enforceable employment contract promising lifetime health benefits and that his alleged tort of outrage was not supported by outrageous conduct. Accordingly, the breach‑of‑contract and outrage claims were dismissed.
