Park Nicollet Clinic v. Arlyn A. Hamann, M.d.

Summary

The court held that Hamann’s breach-of-contract and promissory-estoppel claims accrued in April 2005, when Park Nicollet refused his demand to receive the benefits of its service-recognition policy. The later salary reductions were consequences of that single breach, not separate breaches that restarted the limitations period. Because Hamann filed suit in October 2009, the two-year limitations period barred his claims, and the court reversed the court of appeals.
