Texas Supreme Court

Community Health Systems Professional Services Corporation, Petitioners v. Henry Andrew Hansen, Ii, M.d…

June 16, 201760 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1269

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s summary‑judgment rulings in favor of the defendants, holding that the employer was not required to prove a specific ground for a "without cause" termination, that the contract’s termination provision was unambiguous, that the plaintiff offered no evidence of intentional interference, that the hospital CEO acted as an agent of REAP, that PSC’s no‑evidence motion was procedurally deficient, and that PSC was justified in its interference because it had a legal right to advise REAP.
