Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Connie Goss v. Chippewa County
Case No.: 2017AP1865
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Breach of Contract – Promissory Estoppel
Connie Goss appeals a summary judgment granted in favor of Chippewa County (the County), her former employer. Goss brought claims against the County for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, and promissory estoppel after she resigned from her employment position. Goss contends the circuit court erred by concluding, as a matter of law, that she voluntarily resigned from her position and was not constructively discharged. We disagree and affirm.
