Samuel Boellner, M.d., and Marilyn Boellner v. Clinical Study Centers, LLC John M. Giblin, M.d. Anthony Johnson…

Summary

The court affirmed the judgments arising from the jury’s findings that Samuel Boellner materially breached his contractual obligations, tortiously interfered with business expectancies, and defamed John Giblin. It held that several appellate arguments were unpreserved, while substantial evidence supported the contract and defamation verdicts and the damages award, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in giving the challenged jury instructions. The court also affirmed on cross-appeal because the constitutional challenge to the IRA exemption statute was not preserved.
