Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Sep 3, 2019
State of Missouri, Office of Administration, et al vs. Pharmacy Corporation of America, d/b/a Pharmerica, et al
The State of Missouri appealed the partial summary judgment for PharMerica on a breach of contract claim, while PharMerica cross-appealed the partial summary judgment for the State. The dispute centered on a contract for pharmacy services to Missouri Veterans Homes, specifically regarding renewal options and PharMerica's alleged breach. The appellate court affirmed both partial summary judgments, finding that PharMerica's affirmative defenses for Year 2 failed as a matter of law, and that the State failed to properly exercise its renewal options for Years 3 through 5.
