Pugh v See's Candies

In the case of Pugh v See's Candies, an employee (Pugh) worked for 32 years with an implied contract. He was verbally told by the former company president that as long as he was loyal to the company and did a good job that his future would be secure.
Because Pugh was employed for 32 years, loyalty was not an issue and there were no problems with his job performance due the fact that he had never been disciplined and received bonuses and promotions based on that performance.
The company was wrong by firing him and Pugh had the right to sue for breach of the implied contract. The court should find in favor of Pugh. DB
