Plaintiff, Jackie Chura, an employee of Batten Industries Inc. since April 4, 2008, was terminated allegedly for cause on January 11, 2017 after almost nine years of employment. Batten Industries Inc., the defendant, owned by James Roberts, accused Chura of various forms of misconduct, including dishonest expense claims and entering into a conflict of interest by causing Batten to contract with WebStager, benefiting her husband. Chura filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit, seeking damages and claiming Batten breached its duty of good faith. Batten argued for just cause termination, counterclaimed for losses, and sought punitive damages. The court found in favor of Batten, concluding that Chura's misconduct, including the WebStager contract, constituted just cause for termination. The court dismissed Chura's claim, granted damages to Batten for the counterclaim items which totaled to $16,262.78, but declined to award punitive damages. The issue of costs was left to be resolved, urging the parties to reach an agreement to avoid further litigation.
