Plaintiffs, a former employee and his wife, filed an action against defendants, a corporation and two officers, alleging breach of employment contract and wrongful discharge, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, slander and libel, and loss of consortium. We were substituted into the case at the end of discovery. Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. The court granted partial summary judgment but did not dismiss the malicious prosecution claim. Eventually a settlement was reached.
