Karen C. Karch v. Baybank FSB & a.

Summary

The court treated the plaintiff's second writ as an amended writ replacing the first and reached the merits in the interest of judicial economy. It held that workers' compensation exclusivity barred the emotional-distress claims against the employer but did not bar the wiretapping, invasion-of-privacy, and wrongful-discharge claims under the circumstances alleged. The court allowed the claims against the individual defendant and reversed only the dismissal of the wiretapping and eavesdropping claims against the employer.
