-Los Angeles
-A suit filed for unfair dismissal by Feast Fest Scouter Daved Leineken lasted only four hours Monday, as it was ruled that Leineken had violated the terms of his contract by bribing Brianna Galen-Ames and that Feast Fest Events, Inc. "had [the] full right to fire [him]."
Leineken claimed that the money he had on his person when he visited Galen-Ames's home on July 6 should have fallen under the category of IME: internegotiational monetary exchanges," which would be legal via the FF bylaws and not be grounds for firing.
It was pointed out, however, that Feast Fest bylaws state that if a visit to a potential chef is made but no negotiations take place, the money on the scouter's person is uncategorized and could "be interpreted as bribery."
Since Leineken was turned away at the door by Galen-Ames, no negotiations took place and thus the purpose of the money Leineken took with him could be categorized as for bribery. Thus, Leineken's October firing from the Feast Fest Scouting Department was legal.
"We knew Leineken's chances were very slight, and we are glad to put this matter behind us and continue on with the hardworking and loyal scouters that we still have with," Jim Dall, head of the Scouting Dept., said midday Monday.
