2006AP275 Labarbera-Haines v. Boardwalk Investments L.L.C.

By: dmc-admin//February 2, 2007//

Listen to this article

Jacquelyn Labarbera-Haines appeals from an order dismissing her claim for wrongful discharge against her former employer, Boardwalk Investments, L.L.C. Haines argues that her complaint states a cause of action because it alleges that she was constructively discharged in violation of public policy when Boardwalk repeatedly asked her to engage in illegal acts in the course of her employment, thus creating a work environment so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel forced to resign. We conclude that Haines’s complaint sufficiently alleges that she was constructively discharged in violation of public policy, thus stating a cause of action for wrongful discharge. Accordingly, we reverse. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.

Dist IV, Dane County, Flanagan, J., Dykman, J.
