Dunn v. Northeast Helicopters Flight Services, LLC
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the appellate court affirming the order of the superior court granting Defendant's motion for summary judgment as to the first count of Plaintiff's complaint in this action to recover damages for the allegedly wrongful discharge of Plaintiff, holding that summary judgment was improper.
Defendant, a helicopter flight training school, hired Plaintiff as a flight instructor. When Plaintiff refused to share fees that he expected to receive as a Federal Aviation Administration certified pilot examiner Defendant terminated his employment. Plaintiff brought this action alleging wrongful discharge in violation of the public policy embodied in Conn. Gen. Stat. 31-73(b). The Supreme Court held that the appellate court improperly upheld the trial court's summary judgment for Defendant because genuine material questions of fact remained.
