In Difiore V

In Difiore v. CSL Behring, U.S., LLC , the court found that

A) because the facts underlying the wrongful discharge claim were identical to the facts underlying the False Claims Act retaliation claim, the wrongful discharge claim was preempted.
B) Difiore's refusal to follow her employer's instruction was wrongful and her lawsuit should be dismissed.
C) it did not appear as though the False Claims Act statutory claim should be held to preclude the common law wrongful discharge claim, and dismissal of punitive damages claims was premature.
D) in Pennsylvania, there is no basis for awarding punitive damages in a wrongful discharge lawsuit.
