Lomastro v. Iacovelli
Annotate this CasePlaintiff was a school bus driver employed by Durham School Services (Durham), a private bus company. Citing a “Driver Withdrawal” provision from its contract with Durham for transportation of school students, the Town of Johnston School Department formally requested to not have Plaintiff transport students of the Johnston Public Schools. Lomastro was subsequently terminated. Plaintiff filed a complaint against the interim superintendent for the Town of Johnston and the director of facilities and transportation of Johnston public schools (collectively, Defendants), claiming that Defendants intentionally interfered with her contract with her employer. The hearing justice granted summary judgment in favor of Plaintiffs. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Plaintiff failed to provide evidence that the school department invoked its contractual right to withdraw its approval of Plaintiff as a driver without justification, which prevented Plaintiff from establishing a prima facie case of intentional interference with contractual relations. Therefore, the hearing justice did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants.
