CompFox AI Summary
This case involves twenty former employees who sued their former employer, NHA, Inc., for damages arising from alleged breaches of employment contracts. The employees claimed they had contracts for a year's employment, but NHA, Inc. contended the contracts were for indefinite terms and terminable at will. The trial court initially awarded damages for lost future wages to all plaintiffs. The appellate court, however, largely sided with NHA, Inc. on the issue of indefinite contract terms and the non-recoverability of future wages, citing Texas law. While it overturned the awards for future wages and fully reversed the judgment for one plaintiff (David Severin), it upheld findings that NHA, Inc. breached implied agreements to pay salaries at reasonable intervals for the other nineteen plaintiffs, reforming and affirming their judgments for the remaining damages.
