Demoted from his position as the sole CFO of the NYU Hospitals Center, Richard Miller filed suit claiming breach of contract.
When its dismissal request was denied by the New York County Supreme Court, NYU appealed.
Since he was no longer part of the organization's "senior leadership team," and lost most of his prior responsibilities, the Appellate Division, First Department, thought the guy established a violation of the parties' agreement and that the discharge of his wrongful-discharge claim would be wrongful.
Will he get back on top?
