Klontz v. Puget Sound Power & Light Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• self-serving affidavits contradicting prior depositions cannot be used to create an issue of material fact
• declining, in light of authority cited, to treat claim as implied contract claim, and instead treating claim as “a Thompson exception to terminable-at-will employment, which requires promises by the employer of specific treatment in specific situations”
• to the extent a subsequent declaration contradicts prior deposition testimony, a genuine issue of material fact on the issue does not arise
