Steven Sudbury v. Sumner County Regional Airport Authority
Syllabus
The plaintiff filed this action against his employer for breach of contract by failing to provide the plaintiff with severance pay after the employer terminated the contract without cause. The trial court granted summary judgment to the plaintiff, determining that it was undisputed that the plaintiff was terminated without cause, which entitled him to severance pay pursuant to the employment contract. On appeal, the defendant argues that a genuine issue of material fact exists and that the trial court erred in granting the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment by failing to conduct an objective inquiry as to whether cause was present to terminate the plaintiff's employment. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
