Lorraine Tessier v. Regina S. Rockefeller & a.

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiff's claims for contract damages based on duress, abuse of process, tortious interference with contractual relations, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent failure to train and supervise. It held that the pleadings adequately stated claims for fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and respondeat superior liability, and remanded those claims for further proceedings. The court also upheld denial of the proposed amendment because the amendment would not cure the absence of a contract between the plaintiff and the defendants.
