Eddie Trail and Katrinka Trail v. Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided April 12, 2006No. 45S03-0504-CV-132PublishedCited by 153 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

Subsequent to a parting of ways with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana, former executive director Eddie Trail sued the organization and a number of its board members. He alleged breach of contract, defamation, and tortious interference with an employment at will relationship. Because Trail failed to plead sufficient operative facts, and because certain of his claims have no basis in law, we conclude that the trial court was correct to dismiss.
