A lawyer who sued SoulCycle for terminating his membership, alleging it was retaliation for having represented a SoulCycle employee in a wages-and-hours case against the popular workout chain, had his case dismissed Thursday by the Appellate Division, First Department.

Douglas Wigdor alleged he was banned in violation of the anti-retaliation provisions of New York Labor Law §215, and that SoulCycle’s action was a prima facie tort and a breach of an implied contract of fair dealing (NYLJ, Nov. 24, 2014).
