1Opinion of the Court
HAROLD L. LOWENSTEIN, Judge.
Dr. James A. Schell appeals the trial court’s judgment, in a bench-tried case, in favor of respondent Life Mark. Schell had filed a breach of contract suit against Life-Mark for not paying him severance pay he claimed was owed him under a four-year employment contract between the two. Because LifeMark terminated Schell without cause and because LifeMark had a contractual obligation to pay severance pay if it terminated Schell without cause, this court reverses the trial court’s judgment.
