A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Fujifilm Medical Systems in a case filed by a former senior executive alleging he was fired because he was not Japanese.
In a ruling issued today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit reversed a lower court judgment that executives at Fujifilm’s parent company, Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings (TSE:4901), had tortiously interfered with John Weber’s employment contract in order to avoid paying him severance. Because of the alleged interference, Weber asserted he was entitled to additional compensation.
