Wrongful Termination Cases

Trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of appellee employer in wrongful discharge in violation of public policy claim where clarity and jeopardy elements were met. The jeopardy element was met because the clear public policy articulated in R.C. Chapter 4115 protects not only the society's interest in supporting collective bargaining, but also the substantive right of employees to be paid prevailing wage, and the remedies available in R.C. Chapter 4115 are inadequate to protect such substantive right of appellant employee.

Final orders R.C. 2505.02(B)(1) Civ.R. 54(B). The trial court's order granting the defendant's motion for partial summary judgment is not a final, appealable order under R.C. 2505.02(B)(1). In its order, the trial court found that the defendant could not be liable for its physicians' conduct, but the issue of whether the defendant is liable for the conduct of its nonphysician employees remains pending. The case involves a single claim against a single party, and Civ.R. 54(B) does not apply to transform the order into a final order despite the trial court's use of the language "no just reason for delay."
