Breach of contract

Court/Case No:  10th District Court (Battle Creek) Case No. 15-6746-GC

Tried/Argued Before: Judge

Demand: $11,000

Verdict: $0 - Summary disposition granted

Name of Judge(s): Honorable Judge James Norlander

Keys to the Case:

By presenting the court with an exhaustive survey of Michigan contract, intentional tort, and negligence law, defense counsel persuaded the judge that plaintiffs’ claim – which was based upon an allegedly excessive charge on their telephone bill that was later reversed but supposedly caused the plaintiffs’ emotional distress and other damages – could not as a matter of law fall within any recognized theory of liability and therefore, summary disposition was warranted.
