Frank L. Bordell, Appellant v. General Electric Company, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the plaintiff's whistleblower claim, holding that Labor Law § 740 requires proof of an actual violation of law, rule, or regulation. The court based this on the statute's language and legislative history, noting no amendment analogous to the public‑sector whistleblower statute.
