Mississippi Supreme Court
George W. Healy, Iv and George W. Healy, Iv & Associates, Pllc v. At&t Services, Inc.
June 1, 2023
Summary
The court affirmed the award of $500 in nominal damages for AT&T’s breach because Healy PLLC did not provide evidence establishing lost profits or other damages with reasonable certainty. The court reversed the exclusion of George Healy’s work from the Rule 37(c) sanctions award because he performed legal work as an employee of the separate PLLC, not as an individual pro se litigant. The case was remanded for calculation of the appropriate additional sanctions award.
