Silchia v. MCI Telecommunications Corp.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a disclaimer under the “Notifications” section of employer’s policy that was “set off in its own paragraph” that related “solely to employment at will” was clear and conspicuous
• finding summary judgment appropriate on a promissory es-toppel claim where company policies contained valid disclaimers
• finding late disclosure substantially justified where party only learned of witness’s existence after the discovery deadline and opposing party did not seek leave to depose before summary judgment motion hearing
• “[T]he effect of the two disclaimers taken together also results in no employment contract between the parties.”
• employee’s reliance on statements by employees other than those authorized under company policies to alter employee’s employment status was unreasonable
• disclaimer language is sufficiently conspicuous where it is set off in its own paragraph with the subject of the paragraph “Employment at Will” highlighted in bold and in upper case letters
