Sandra Davis was a worker in a New York hotel owned by the Royal Crown Internati

Question

Sandra Davis was a worker in a New York hotel owned by the Royal Crown International Hotel Co. One day, Henry Lambert, the manager of the hotel support team, gathered all the workers and told them that a great deal of theft had taken place within the hotel. He warned the assembled workers that unless someone confessed or revealed the name of the responsible person, he would start to fire all the workers according to seniority. When no one volunteered the information he was seeking, Lambert fired Sandra Davis, a single parent of three small children. Ms Davis became very upset, began to cry, sustained emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of wages and earnings. Ms. Davis sued the Royal Crown International Hotel Co and Henry Lambert alleging that the defendants acted recklessly and outrageously, intending to cause emotional distress and anguish. The defendants argued that damages for emotional distress are not recoverable unless physical injury occurs as a result of the distress. Will Davis be successful on her complaint? Please explain.

Explanation / Answer

In this Davis need to explain the situation based on which she was fire and there was nothing against her. She was fired because she was the most senior which cannot be fair and is against law because if an employee is terminated based on disciplinary charges, then there has to be proof against the employee and in this case there was nothing of that sort and the mental harassment case that she has put forward can be classified to a first degree mental harassment case where the termination caused depression and anguish and that too because of which there is no proof against her.
