Jay Wolfe Imports I, LLC, where the Missouri Court of Appeals, on July 30, 2013, held that public policy did not prohibit a Honda car dealership from terminating an employee after his live-in girlfriend bought a Honda at another dealership. The court upheld a trial court's finding that the public policy exception to the at-will employment doctrine should not be expanded to cover a third party's commercial transactions.
