Recently Decided Cases
Monmouth Meadows Homeowners Association, Inc. v. Tiffany Hamilton by Court of Appeals of Maryland on 10/25/2010
The court held that use of the lodestar method in calculating attorneys' fees is inappropriate in contractual debt-collection cases. The court also held that trial courts should use Rule 1.5 of the Maryland Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct as a guide for determining reasonable attorneys' fees.
Harco National Insurance Company v. Grant Thornton LLP by Court of Appeals on 9/7/2010
The court found that the Business Court had erred in applying the "Audit State test" and reversed that order, and held instead that under a proper application of the lex loci test, North Carolina law governed the instant case. Because North Carolina law governs, the Business Court’s denial of GT’s motion for summary judgment under Illinois law is affirmed.
Cloverleaf Enterprises, Inc., v. Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Assoc., Inc. by United States District Court for the District of Maryland on 8/6/2010
The court held that Cloverleaf stated claims upon which relief could be granted as to their allegations of violations under the Sherman Act, unfair competition and tortious interference with contract. The court only granted MJC’s motion to dismiss concerning Cloverleaf’s breach of contract claim.
