Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jan 21, 2025
Patrick Carron, Appellant, v. Mark Schabbing & Darryl Green, Respondents.
Appellant Patrick Carron sued Mark Schabbing and Darryl Green for tortious interference with a contract and business expectancy after his employment with Perry County Memorial Hospital was terminated. The trial court granted summary judgment for Schabbing and Green, finding they were released by a General Release and Waiver Carron signed as part of his separation agreement. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the Respondents were members of a "related company" to the Hospital, the Perryville Family Care Clinic, and thus were included in the scope of the release.
