Conclusion

1
Conclusion

• Robert Adams Did not wish to drive said vehicle
  due to the fact that it was lacking a required
  inspection sticker, which in this case would
  cause him to do a illegal act.
• If this was merely an unethical act then yes
  Robert would be eligible to be fired. But since
  the sticker was required, to follow his orders
  from his boss he would have to break the law.

Conclusion

• (Reason) An action for wrongful discharge in
  violation of public policy is an action in tort,
  rather than in contract. Liability is grounded in
  the principle that the employer may not retaliate
  against an employee by discharging that employee
  for refusing to break the law. The employer
  engages in tortuous conduct by affirmatively
  forcing the employee to choose between breaking
  the law and keeping his job. The wrongful
  discharge of an at-will employee in violation of
  public policy is thus an intentional tort.
• For the remedies of lost wages Robert Adams would
  win the full 7,094 dollars.

Conclusion

  the defendant which (2) intentionally or
  recklessly (3) causes the plaintiff severe
  emotional distress.
• Robert Adams would not win this remedy
