LEIENDECKER v. ASIAN WOMEN
Court of Appeals of Minnesota (2007) | 731 N.W.2d 836
TL;DR: An employee sued her former employer after being fired. The court held her claims were not barred for failing to raise them in a prior lawsuit, as Minnesota's compulsory counterclaim rule exempts all tort claims and her other claims were not yet ripe when the prior suit was filed.
Legal Significance: This case clarifies that Minnesota's compulsory counterclaim rule, Minn. R. Civ. P. 13.01, provides a blanket exclusion for all tort claims and only applies to non-tort claims that are ripe at the time of pleading.
