In Page v. Columbia Natural Resources, Inc., 198 W. Va. 378, 480 S.E.2d 817 (1996) the Court analyzed public policy considerations involving the obligation to provide truthful testimony in a legal action. The Court found "sufficient statutory support for a substantial public policy against dismissing an employee for truthfully testifying in relation to a legal action." 198 W. Va. at 386, 480 S.E.2d at 825. The Court further explained: "We believe that this substantial public policy also meets the requirement of providing specific guidance to a reasonable person. Basic to the administration of justice is the search for the truth. Thus, a reasonable employer should be aware that any attempt to interfere with the process of obtaining truthful testimony, by either intimidating a potential witness/employee prior to his or her testimony or retaliating against such witnesses/employee thereafter, violates the clear and substantial public policy of this State." (Page, 198 W. Va. at 386-87, 480 S.E.2d at 825-26.)
