Dallas/Fort Worth Int'l Airport Bd. v. Inet Airport Sys., No. 15-10390 (5th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseThis appeal involves a breach of contract dispute between the parties regarding the proper configuration and installation of rooftop air handling units for passenger boarding bridges. The court concluded it was error to grant summary judgment for INET on the basis that DFW first breached the contract. The record contains disputes of material fact regarding which party prevented performance by failing to fully cooperate in arriving at a solution once the parties discovered defects. Accordingly, the court reversed the grants of summary judgment for INET and Hartford and remanded this case for the claims to proceed to a fact finder. Because the district court granted INET damages and fees based on its summary judgment rulings, the court also vacated those awards.
