Description
¶1. Fleming Companies, Inc., appeals a judgment awarding compensatory and punitive damages to Duane Betterman. Betterman, who worked for Fleming, suffered a mental breakdown at work. He claimed that during his recovery, Fleming falsely assured him that he had a job waiting. Fleming argues: (1) an employee cannot sue an employer for intentional misrepresentation; (2) the existence of a contractual relationship bars a claim for promissory estoppel; (3) the court made numerous errors in computing compensatory damages; and (4) the punitive damages award is excessive. We affirm the judgment.
