John Fleming represented a local municipality that shut down the work of a property developer and contractor, based upon certain failures of the contractor to comply with designs, plans, and specifications. The contractor sued under numerous theories, including breach of contract, violation of civil rights, statutory violations and negligence claims. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of John’s client, the municipal entity, ruling that there was no violation of any contract and ruling that immunity protected the city from the other claims.
The case was defended by lawyers at Fleming & Umland both at the trial court level and through appeals in the appellate courts. The judgment in favor of John’s client was upheld on appeal.
