George M. Bond v. Com-Ther, Inc.

The plaintiff and the defendant entered into a “Contract Services Agreement” in 1994 which provided, as pertinent to this case, that either party might terminate it at any time by giving 30 days notice to the other. On May 19, 1995, the defendant informed the plaintiff by letter that “ . . . we are discontinuing our relationship with you for Physical Therapy services, effective May 19, 1995. Normal procedure warrants a 30 day notice, however, in light of numerous complaints regarding your services, we feel it is necessary to cease services immediately.” This suit was filed in the General Sessions Court to recover compensation for 30 days. The plaintiff insists that because he was entitled to 30 days notice of termination of the contract, he is entitled to recover compensation during this period in accordance with his earnings history.
