TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
PROBLEM: give several reasons for their decision to terminate the plaintiff; namely, that he was over-extended, refused to delegate work, failed to share information, had poor people management skills, and treated 010 employees in an abusive manner. As the “proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back,” defendants also point to, and plaintiff concedes, his use of profanities and abusive language during the phone conversation with Clark. (Doc. 41 at 25.) Defendants were concerned that plaintiffs behavior would result in a lawsuit by Clark or potentially lawsuits by other employees. An employee’s inappropriate behavior toward other employees is a legitimate business reason for termination in the context of a close corporation. See Priebe v. O’Malley, 89 Ohio App.3d 8, 12, 623 N.E.2d 573 (1993) (<HOLDING>). The record demonstrates that defendants acted

SOLUTION: (D)

PROBLEM: recognizes that where a legislature has established a ratemaking scheme, the filed rate defines the legal relationship between shipper/customer and carrier/regulated utility. Further, the rights of the ratepayer in regard to the rate it pays are defined by the statutory scheme. See Taffet, 967 F.2d at 1490. Turning to Kentucky’s ratemaking statutes, this Court finds that nothing in them or the cases interpreting them limits the rights ratepayers have against persons or entities who allegedly have harmed their utility. The jurisdiction of the PSC extends to all utilities in Kentucky, and the PSC has “exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation of rates and service of utilities.” KRS 278.040(2); see also Smith v. Southern Bell Tel & Tel. Co., 268 Ky. 421, 104 S.W.2d 961, 963 (1937) (<HOLDING>). Utilities must file schedules with the PSC
