South Dakota Supreme Court

Scott Moss, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Steve Guttormson, Arnold Guttormson, and Arnie’s Meats and Seafood, Austin…

June 26, 19961996 S.D. LEXIS 81

Summary

The court affirmed denial of summary judgment on the salesperson’s deceit and deceptive-trade-practices claims. It held that the employer’s admitted concealment and mislabeling practices created triable issues on deceit, and that the statute’s broad reference to any adversely affected person allowed an employee to sue even though he was not a consumer. No separate opinions were filed.
