Supreme Court of New Jersey
John W. MacDougall, Plaintiff-Appellant v. James M. Weichert
June 10, 1996144 N.J. 380
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings, holding that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment on both the wrongful‑discharge and tortious‑interference claims. The Court explained that the employment status of the plaintiff must be determined on remand, and if he is an employee, the court must then apply the Pierce wrongful‑discharge doctrine and the Printing Mart‑Morristown test for intentional interference.
