U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2657
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and Erickson,
District Judge]
Civil case - Contracts. Defendant was not entitled to rescind his
resignation as he failed to show duress under Minnesota law; no evidence
supported his allegations that the School District made an unlawful threat
against him or that his will was overcome; even if an unlawful threat was
made, the threat was cured as he had full knowledge of all of the facts,
advice from an attorney and ample time for reflections - see St. Louis
park Inv. Co. v. R.L. Johnson Inv. Co., 411 N.W.2d 288 (Minn. Ct. App.
1987); there was no evidence that the School District made material
misrepresentations regarding the investigation it was conducting regarding
allegations of plaintiff's misconduct.
