Proposed Severance Agreement • “Conditional Acceptance” • Breach of Covenant of Good Faith • Equitable Estoppel
Zamos v. McNeil-PPC, Inc., PICS Case No. 17-0102 (E.D. Pa. Jan. 5, 2017) Kelly, J. (14 pages).
Court granted defendant’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s action alleging failure to pay “enhanced severance” because plaintiff’s breach of contract claim failed since there was no contract where plaintiff never accepted the proposed agreement, his bad- faith claim failed because it was subsumed by his separately pled breach of contract claim and his estoppel claim was not an independent cause of action. Motion to dismiss granted.
