Lytle v. Malady

Brickley, J.

I concur with the majority to the extent that it dismisses plaintiff’s claims of age and sex discrimination. However, for the reasons set forth in my opinion in Lytle v Malady, 456 Mich 1, 67-68; 566 NW2d 582 (1997), I dissent from the majority’s rationale regarding plaintiff’s wrongful-termination claim. I would uphold summary disposition for the defendant because “plaintiff failed to raise a question of material fact that the defendant had just cause to terminate the plaintiff as part of its reduction in force.”
