July 9, 199740 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 920

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal of summary judgment, holding that the after‑acquired evidence doctrine does not bar recovery for a retaliatory discharge claim under the Workers’ Compensation Act but may limit the employee's damages. The Court also found the employer's affidavit to be admissible summary‑judgment evidence.
