Highlight

A complaint is construed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and may not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it discloses with certainty the impossibility of proving a claim upon which relief can be granted.
A claim for fraud applies to parties to a contract while a claim for deceit applies where there is no contract between the parties.
A promise made without any intention of performing may be deceit.
Legal issues entitling a party to a jury trial are tried to a jury before disposition of equitable issues triable to the court, and whenever the issues are so interrelated that a decision in the nonjury portion might affect the decision of the jury portion, the jury portion must be tried first.
There is no implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in the employment context.
Nonprejudicial errors constitute harmless error and are not grounds for reversal.
