20A-CT-622
Civil tort. Affirms the grant of summary judgment to Glenn Reis, Dale Bottorff, Jimmie Sanders and Steve Stumler on their breach of contract claim against Clark County REMC.

Also finds the trial court’s ruling was not contrary to public policy. Judge L. Mark Bailey dissents with separate opinion.
