891 charsBackground. Crabtree was employed as the town manager of Saugus (town). The town's board of selectmen (board), of which the defendants were members, voted to remove Crabtree from his position as town manager. As a result, Crabtree sued the defendants in their individual capacities, based on a theory of tortious interference with advantageous relations. Among other allegations, Crabtree asserted that he had been removed in retaliation for "having initiated an [ethics] investigation" against Castinetti; laying off Faiella from her employment with the town's police department and not hiring her as the police chief's administrative clerk; and declining to hire Allan's son's friend as a fire fighter and failing to communicate with Allan's brother-in-law regarding the rezoning and redevelopment of property. Crabtree also alleged that the defendants acted maliciously in their decision.
