Key legal question
Whether the employer incurred precontractual liability (culpa in contrahendo) by breaking off employment negotiations.
Extracted holding
No precontractual liability was established; the employer’s conduct did not amount to a disloyal revocation of negotiations.
Extracted reasoning
Long negotiations alone are insufficient. The unresolved commission and vehicle-expense issues showed that no clear agreement had been reached, the draft contract remained unapproved, and the final proposal reflected continuing disagreement rather than a deceptive reversal.
