Andrew J. Adams and Kevin P. Gildea of DarrowEverett LLP’s Labor & Employment Practice Group secured a significant victory for and employer at the New Jersey Appellate Division, which affirmed a summary judgment ruling from late 2023. The case was originally brought by a former employee alleging discrimination under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and as a common law Pierce action based upon alleged public policy violations arising during the early days of COVID-19. The appeal, argued in December of 2024 and decided on January 21, 2025, affirmed summary judgment in favor of the employer on all counts.
The Appellate Division upheld the dismissal of all four counts of the Plaintiff’s amended complaint, stating that “Based upon our de novo review, we conclude that plaintiff failed to meet her burden of identifying the existence of any clearly mandated public policy, which was violated by [the employer]” and rejecting plaintiff’s contention that future regulatory mandates should be considered in determining the existence of public policy. The Appellate Division also determined that the plaintiff had produced no evidence to support the claim that her termination was pretextual or motivated by discriminatory intent.
