Villanueva-Arroyo v. Housing Authority of the City of Passaic, 2021 N.J. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 1058 (App. Div. June 3, 2021)

N/A

OUTCOME: The trial court granted summary judgment, which was affirmed on appeal. The New Jersey Supreme Court then denied the plaintiff's Petition for Certiorari.

The plaintiff brought claims for whistleblowing, breach of implied contract under the employee handbook, and violation of due process against the Housing Authority. We argued that there was no objectiv ... e proof that her complaints were for public policy concerns, and that the clear disclaimers in the employee handbook did not create a contract which would make the Housing Authority liable for breach or for alleged due process violations.
