Virgin Islands Court Denies Summary Judgment in Cardiologist Pay Dispute Over Post-Departure Collections

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg Law · Jun 8

Summary

  • A Virgin Islands federal court refused to throw out a cardiologist’s breach-of-contract claims against Plessen Management Services, keeping alive his bid for compensation tied to collections received after he left.
  • The judge found factual disputes over whether the company still owed payment for medical services the cardiologist performed while covered by an independent-contractor agreement.
  • That ruling means the contract fight cannot be resolved on summary judgment and will proceed with the compensation question still contested.
