Crump v. P & C Food Markets, Inc.
Supreme Court of Vermont
Decided May 4, 1990No. 86-354PublishedCited by 84 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtAllen, C.J.
Defendant appeals from a jury verdict in favor of plaintiff on grounds of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. We affirm.
The present action arose after defendant dismissed plaintiff as an employee in August 1983. Plaintiff had been employed by defendant for eighteen years and held the position of head receiver for dry goods at defendant’s Vermont distribution center at the time of his dismissal. Plaintiff’s dismissal followed an incident in which he placed some rejected merchandise on an outgoing truck, intending to pick it up later for his personal use.
