Idaho Supreme Court

Barton v. Board of Regents

June 7, 2024173 Idaho 811

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment dismissing Barton’s claims against the University, the denial of her motion to amend and motion for reconsideration, and the rulings concerning discovery, expert testimony, and fees. The court held that Barton could not relitigate her honor-code violation, waived challenges to unaddressed claims and the amendment ruling, and failed to identify evidence supporting her implied-covenant and promissory-estoppel claims. The University was awarded attorney fees and costs on appeal because the appeal was frivolous, unreasonable, and without foundation.
