Chris Bermel, Petitioner v. Blueradios, Inc., Respondent — Gabriel, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Gabriel dissented from the majority's conclusion that BlueRadios's civil-theft counterclaim was not barred by the economic loss rule. The dissent would treat civil theft as a tort and hold that the claim was inseparable from Bermel's contractual confidentiality obligations, while also concluding that allowing the claim would conflict with the Uniform Trade Secrets Act's remedial scheme. Justice Hart joined the dissent.
