Turner v. City of Lapwai
Annotate this CaseMercedes Turner filed suit against her former employer, the City of Lapwai, claiming that she was owed unpaid compensation and reimbursement for certain expenses incurred during her employment. The City moved for summary judgment, arguing that Turner’s claim for unpaid compensation was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and that both claims were barred because Turner failed to provide adequate notice of her claims as required by Idaho Code section 50-219. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the City, holding that Turner failed to provide adequate notice of her claims. Turner appealed. Upon review, the Supreme Court affirmed because Turner failed to file her claim with the city clerk as required by Idaho Code sections 50-219 and 6-906. Consequently, the other issues raised on appeal by Turner and the City were not addressed.
