Walford v. British Caledonian Airways

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 17, 1976
52 A.D.2d 922 (N.Y. App. Div. 1976)

Opinion

May 17, 1976


In an action to recover damages for breach of employment contracts, defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated November 20, 1975, which denied its motion for summary judgment. Order reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, motion granted, and complaint dismissed. No fact findings were presented for review. Plaintiffs did not have an employment contract for an agreed term. "Hence, standing alone, it was terminable at will, and would not give rise to a cause of action. (Watson v Gugino, 204 N.Y. 535.)" (See Parker v Borock, 5 N.Y.2d 156, 159; see, also, A.S. Rampell, Inc. v Hyster Co., 3 N.Y.2d 369, 375; Reale v International Bus. Machs. Corp., 34 A.D.2d 936.) Hopkins, Acting P.J., Margett, Damiani, Rabin and Hawkins, JJ., concur.
