The plaintiff, an insurance broker, was summarily dismissed by his employer.
He sued for wrongful dismissal, special damages, and compensation for vested business.
He also sued the principal broker for conspiracy, intimidation, and slander.
The employer counterclaimed for breach of contract and fiduciary duty due to the plaintiff soliciting clients.
The court found the dismissal was without just cause, awarded damages in lieu of notice and for vested business (reduced by the plaintiff's breach of non-competition and fiduciary duty).
The claims for special damages, conspiracy, intimidation, and slander against the principal broker were dismissed.
