Cleveland Regional Medical Center L.P. v. Celtic Properties, L.C.

Though a jury may not be called upon to determine whether an agreement is legally enforceable, whether parties intend to be bound by the terms of an agreement is a question of fact for the jury. Considering all of the evidence favorable to the jury's finding and disregarding evidence to the contrary unless a reasonable fact-finder could not, the evidence was legally sufficient to support the jury's finding that the parties intended to be bound by the formal letter agreement concerning the lease. Appellants' first of 13 issues is overruled. Beaumont Court of Appeals, No. 09-08-00263-CV, 10-06-2010

OPINION

Celtic Properties, L.C. (“Celtic”) filed a lawsuit against Cleveland Regional Medical Center, L.P. (“CRMC”) for breach of a lease agreement, failure to pay rent, and breach of CRMC=s common law duty to maintain the building it leased in a suitable condition. Celtic amended its suit adding Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”) and CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS/CHS”) as defendants, alleging additional causes of action. After trial on the merits, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Celtic. Following the jury=s verdict, CRMC filed a motion for new trial and a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The trial court entered final judgment in favor of Celtic on March 11, 2009. CRMC, CHS and CHS/CHS (collectively referred to as Aappellants@) filed this appeal raising thirteen separate issues. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
