Can their spdrned spouses sue the company? The Texas Supreme Court said “no” in a Beaumont case.In its decision Thursday, the court said busi nesses cannot be sued for “neg ligent interference with the fa milial relationship.” The dispute stemmed from a 1991 extramarital affair be tween Joe Golias and Pam Sny der, according to court records. Golias was vice president of Helena Laboratories Corp.; Ms. Snyder, his executive secretary. Golias and his wife A'lison separated in March 1991, the court documents said. A month later, Golias and Ms. Snyder had an affair, which lasted about six weeks. Ms. Snyder’s husband, Robert, and Golias’ wife, Allison, found out about the affair and sued Helena Laboratories, say ing the company had a duty to prevent its employees from en gaging in extramarital affairs. Add into the mix that Joe’s parents, Tipton and Ann Go lias, were principals in the company. Tipton was the presi dent and board chairman. But company officials said they knew nothing about the affair between Joe and Pam. A district court in Beaumont ruled in favor of Helena Labora tories, but the 9th Court of Ap peals reversed that decision say ing there were numerous ques tions that had to be resolved. Those questions included: What were Joe and Pam doing on corporate property and cor porate time? What did Tipton know about the relationship and when did he know it? And what should Tipton or Ann have done about it? But the Texas Supreme Court overturned the appeals court and affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of Helena Laboratories. “This court has never recog nized an independent cause of action for negligent interfer ence with the familial relation- skip,” the Supreme Court said in its opinion.
