Court found defendant did not breach its duty of care: the altercation escalated rapidly and was not reasonably foreseeable; plaintiff materially provoked the incident by throwing a wooden board and was 60% contributorily negligent; medical experts' joint reports and tests demonstrated exaggeration/feigning of symptoms so plaintiff failed to prove neurological or psychiatric injury; any award would be extinguished by prior employee compensation, therefore claim dismissed and costs awarded to defendant.
