BMK Attorneys Win Summary Judgment on Employee Discrimination Claim

Default Thumbnail

BMK attorneys Edward Kutchin, Kerry Northup and Michael Bednarz obtained summary judgment in Massachusetts Superior Court in favor of their dental practice client for claims brought by a former employee for racial discrimination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional interference with advantageous business relations.  Plaintiff, a former administrative assistant, asserted that she was subjected to a hostile workplace and ultimately terminated based on racial animus.  BMK successfully argued, however, that the defendant practice and sole practitioner could not be held liable for tortiously interfering with their own contract, that there was no evidence of a hostile workplace, that race played no factor in her termination, and that the alleged conduct did not constitute an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim.
