A former employee of the ISU Men’s Hockey Club has won her case against the club after taking the case to the Government of the Student Body Supreme Court.

Louis Kishkunas, representative to plaintiff Jessica O’Brien, said the court ruled unanimously in their favor.

“They agreed with our contention that there was an unofficial contract going on and she did at least some of the work,” Kishkunas said.

O’Brien, junior in graphic design, was a graphic design intern for the club and also helped with payroll and administrative duties during the fall semester and part of this semester, Kishkunas said.

She sued the hockey club for compensation when she, along with all other hourly employees, was let go by the hockey club because of the club’s financial difficulties, he said.

Kishkunas said he was happy with the outcome because O’Brien wanted to prove the hockey team had this contract and was brushing it off as if nothing was ever agreed upon.

“[The] hockey club can’t do these business practices anymore and shouldn’t have in the first place,” he said.

Brad Dye, assistant treasurer in the treasurer’s office, said he and Warren Madden, vice president for business and finance, took control of the hockey club’s finances about six weeks ago when ISU President Gregory Geoffroy thought it would be best if someone with business experience ran the fiscal operation of the hockey club.

He said the business practices in question during this case happened before he and Madden took over the club’s finances.

Because he had not seen the opinion of the GSB Supreme Court, Dye said he could not substantiate any information about the case.

He said the hockey club’s business practices are being handled differently now.

“Warren and I will probably have a different way of doing things,” Dye said.

“We are in the business world every day.”

The trial took place April 12 and lasted into the early hours of April 13.

Monday was the last day for the court’s opinion to be released to O’Brien and the ISU Men’s Hockey Club, according to the rules of the court.

According to a past Daily article, the plaintiff requested a closed trial, which was upheld by the GSB bylaws.

Jon Sievers, GSB Supreme Court justice, said further details and the opinion of the court will only be released to plaintiff and the defendant because of the closed trial request.
