HARDY V. LABELLE'S DISTRIBUTING CO.
Mont. Sup. Ct, 203 Mont. 263, 661 P.2d 35 (1983)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal for the denial of damages for a false imprisonment.
FACTS: Hardy (P) was hired as a temporary employee of Labelle's (D). P was eventually
suspected of stealing watches. P was asked by another employee to take a tour of the store
because she was new to the operation. P was taken to the manager's office and informed that
she had been accused of stealing a watch. There was a uniformed police officer in the
manager's office along with other store personnel. P denied taking the watch and agreed to a
polygraph test. P passed the test. P eventually sued for false imprisonment. P admitted at
trial that she voluntarily stayed in the office in order to exonerate herself. The jury
awarded the verdict to D. P appealed.
