View this case - free  

Overview: Although Ala. Code § 36-26-27(a) permitted the State Personnel Board to review a classified employee's dismissal and to impose a lesser penalty than dismissal, remand under Ala. Code § 41-22-20(k) was required because the Board's adopted findings of fact and conclusions of law conflicted with its summary conclusion to reinstate the employee.

Bishop State Cmty. College v. Archible, 2070379, 2070670, COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, October 24, 2008, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: To hold that the current version of Ala. Code § 36-26-103 required less information than the former version would be to construe it so that it fell below baseline constitutional standards; thus, a college was required to provide employees notice of the reasons for their terminations in sufficient detail for them to defend against the charges.

Overview: Although physical and sexual assault occurred after employee attempted to unlock restaurant where she worked, substantial evidence indicated that the attack was not related to her employment as required by Ala.

View this case - free  

Overview: As catfish farmers did not show they had a fiduciary relationship with defendants--the farmers' bank, its directors, and a catfish processor--defendants had no duty to disclose material facts to the farmers. Therefore, the trial court properly dismissed the farmers' claim that defendants violated Ala. Code § 6-5-102 by suppressing material facts.

Overview: In her motion for pendente lite custody, mother alleged father harassed her at her place of employment.
