摘要:In this action for wrongful termination
from employment, the issue is whether summary
judgment was properly granted to the
defendant employer. This Court holds that the
former employee stated a claim for wrongful
termination sufficient to survive summary
judgment and the lower courts erred in holding
to the contrary. They further erred in finding
no dispute as to any issue of material fact.
The opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals is
vacated and the trial court’s summary judgment
is reversed. This matter is remanded to
the trial court for a determination of the jury
question of whether retaliation was a
significant factor in the employer’s decision to
terminate the plaintiff’s employment.
