More on how this was screened

In Painter v. Graley, the Ohio Supreme Court overruled Tulloh's syllabus rule that a wrongful-discharge tort requires statutory authority; a sufficiently clear public policy can come from other sources. Later courts continued to apply Tulloh's separate rule for pleading an employer intentional tort. The confirmed treatment is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

36 later cases cite Tulloh v. Goodyear Atomic Corp.; 36 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
