Question:
2. Suppose, as suggested in question 1, that the defendant’s agents, when examining the plaintiff’s home computer in accordance with the appellate court’s order, discovered evidence of financial wrongdoing related to the company’s assets. Do you think the company should be entitled to amend its answer to the plaintiff’s complaint to include this new information, as a separate and sufficient reason for firing the plaintiff, had it only known about the financial malfeasance when it fired him? If so, what effect should this new information have on the merits of the plaintiff’s wrongful discharge suit? On the damages he will be awarded if he should prevail?
