J. Mahan grants the masonry marketing firm’s motion for summary judgment in this dispute arising from an alleged breach of contract brought by the masonry manufacturer. The manufacturer alleges the marketer solicited the manufacturer’s customers and claimed he was still working with the manufacturer when bidding for a contract with the Orlando Airport after the agreement was rescinded. The plain language of the agreement states that the marketer is free to perform other services for other parties and does not contain any provision restricting competition.

J. Kleeh denies a Morgantown couple’s motion to remand their breach of contract suit against the manufactured home company back to Monongalia County Circuit Court, and grants the company’s motion to compel arbitration. The court finds the couple has not been dilatory in identifying “diversity-destroying defendants” to join them to the suit, and the binding dispute resolution the couple signed when they purchased the home is an enforceable contract since they’ve failed to prove how it’s “one-sided, unreasonable and unconscionable.” Further proceedings stayed pending completion of arbitration.
Court: USDC Northern District of West Virginia, Judge: Kleeh, Filed On: August 16, 2023, Case #: 1:22cv112, NOS: Arbitration - Other Suits, Categories: Arbitration, business Practices, contract

J. Metcalf partially grants a group of golf club members their motion to compel discovery against the club, specifically a list of the club’s members and financial records. The group claims breach of contract for member overpayment and is correct in arguing that without a full list of member names, they may not be able to find the right members to depose. Also, all the club’s financial records are not relevant to this case, but the ones concerning the mortgage are.

J. Nowell finds that the lower court properly entered a take-nothing judgment against the appellants in this lawsuit alleging breach of contract and violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act in connection with a nanny referral business.

J. Nowell finds that the lower court improperly granted summary judgment to the appellees on most of the claims in this suit stemming from an alleged business partnership.

Summary judgment was appropriate, however, on his defamation per se claim. Reversed in part.

J. Devine finds the court of appeals improperly ruled in favor of the founders of a law firm who redeemed the shares of a recently departed member of the firm.
