Indiana State Symphony Society, Inc. v. Ziedonis
Indiana Court of Appeals
171 Ind. App. 292 (1976)

- Written by Josh Lee, JD
Facts
Viktors Ziedonis (plaintiff) worked for the Indiana State Symphony Society, Inc. (defendant). The symphony fired Ziedonis, and Ziedonis sued, alleging a breach of contract. The trial court determined that the symphony had breached the employment contract and determined that Ziedonis had suffered $6,335 in damages as a result. Ziedonis did testify that he played with two out-of-town orchestras during the relevant period and received $3,430 as payment. However, the trial court did not deduct that amount from its award to Ziedonis. The symphony appealed.
