Indiana Supreme Court
The Care Group Heart Hospital, LLC, Appellant/cross-Appellee (defendant) v. Roderick J. Sawyer, M.d…
March 23, 201893 N.E.3d 745
Summary
The court held that the hospital did not breach the parties' agreements by redeeming the doctor's ownership interest after his employment ended because the phrase "any termination" required redemption regardless of the reason for termination. The hospital did breach the agreement by paying the redemption amount nearly five months after the contractual deadline, entitling the doctor to $6,559.60 in prejudgment interest. The court also upheld the $27,233.19 discovery-sanction award because any failure to hold a separate hearing was harmless and the amount was within the trial court's discretion.
