PAUL V. HOLBROOK 696 So.2d 1311 (1997) CASE BRIEF

PAUL V. HOLBROOK
696 So.2d 1311 (1997)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Paul (P) appealed a summary judgment in favor of Holbrook (D), former employer and co-worker, on P's claims for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and negligent hiring and retention.
FACTS: P and D are former employees of PMP. P testified that D was her co-worker and not her supervisor. P alleges that D harassed her by asking that she wear revealing clothing and suggesting that they engage in sexual relations. P claims that on two occasions, D came up behind her while she was working and tried to massage her shoulders. On both occasions, P immediately pulled away and told D to leave, which he did. After P complained to PMP's management, she and D never again worked the same shifts and his improper behavior toward her ended. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of PMP and D on P's claims for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress and negligent hiring and retention. P appealed.
