Coney was hired by a well-known consulting firm. Although the firm had expected great things of him based on his past experience and academic achievements (including having a PhD from the University of Illinois), he exceeded even its expectations. After two very successful years with the firm, Coney applied for partnership and, as part of the admission process, he was asked to provide evidence of his PhD. After Coney claimed to have moved so many times that he lost the documentation, the firm called the University of Illinois, only to be told it had no record of Coneyat all. When confronted, Coney said it was an honorary degree. Now probing further, the employer offered to fly to Chicago with him to verify his honorary degree, but Coney declined. The firm concluded that the PhD was fabricated (in fact, it turned out he did not have a university degree at all) and it fired him for causemeaning no advance notice or severance package. Coney sued for wrongful dismissal. Do you think he will be successful?
