Reynolds v. Gentry Fin. Corp.,

2016 UT App.35 (Utah Court of Appeals)

1. What are the legal issues in this case? What did the appeals court decide?

2. What implied contract is alleged to have been breached? What is the evidence that this implied contract exists? Why does the employer's disclaimer not resolve the matter?

3. Why is the separate at-will employment agreement that the employee had signed when she was hired not sufficient to negate an implied contract providing for something other than employment at will?

4. At trial, is the plaintiff likely to be able to prove the existence of an implied contract? Why or why not? Is the plaintiff likely to be able to prove that any implied contract was breached by her termination? Why or why not?
