Does the majority of the California Supreme Court's decision to abolish the tort cause of action for bad faith discharge retroactive?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Foley v. Interactive Data Corp., 254 Cal.Rptr. 211, 47 Cal.3d 654, 765 P.2d 373 (Cal. 1988):
3 The majority do not decide whether their decision abolishing the tort cause of action for bad faith discharge is retroactive. A pattern of reliance similar to that present here led this court to make its decision in Moradi-Shalal v. Fireman's Fund Ins. Cos. (1988) 46 Cal.3d 287, 305, 250 Cal.Rptr. 116, 758 P.2d 58, prospective.
