In Lawler V

In Lawler v. Montblanc North America, where Lawler, a store manager, was fired after telling her employer that she could not work more than 20 hours a week due to a medical condition, she sued for emotional distress and the appeals court held that:

A) she had no claim for emotional distress, but may have one for assault because of the fear she felt
B) she had no claim for emotional distress because the situation was upsetting, not outrageous
C) she had a claim for emotional distress as her expert witness testified that the situation likely triggered a severe mental response
D) she had a claim for emotional distress, as her expert witness testified that the behavior of her supervisor was outrageous and "beyond the bounds of decency"
E) none of the other choices are correct
