Lab contract dispute heads to new trial in Maryland
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals upheld a $25,972 jury award to Frederick Community Medical Laboratory for breach of written contract with Robert A. Kirkpatrick trading as Omni Systems Co. but ordered a new trial on Kirkpatrick's counterclaim, finding trial judge errors in jury instructions about the statute of frauds. The case centers on whether a written contract existed or an oral agreement to continue software development and monthly payments, with disputes over invoicing for hardware, software, and custom development.
