Campbell v. Parkway Surgery
Annotate this CaseThis appeal arose out of a district court’s decision to affirm a magistrate court’s order granting Michelle Campbell relief on her breach of contract claim. This case stemmed from an employment offer Parkway Surgery Center, LLC made to Campbell. The offer included assurances that Parkway would “take care of” a loan Campbell had with her previous employer, Bingham Memorial Hospital (BMH). When Parkway refused to pay the obligation as promised, Campbell filed suit for a breach of contract. Following a bench trial, the magistrate court ruled in favor of Campbell and awarded her damages in the amount of the loan plus interest. Parkway appealed to the district court, which affirmed the magistrate’s order, but remanded to the magistrate court to reform the judgment to grant Campbell specific performance. Parkway appealed to the Idaho Supreme Court. On appeal, Parkway raised several arguments, including that the district court erred when it: (1) affirmed the magistrate court’s order; (2) determined Campbell was entitled to specific performance; (3) determined the statute of frauds did not apply in this case; and (4) awarded attorney fees to Campbell. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded the trial court erred in reforming the magistrate court's judgment to grant Campbell specific performance. The court affirmed the district court in all other respects. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
