Mont. Interventional & Diagnostic Radiology Specialists, PPLC v. St. Peter’s Hosp.

Prior to July 2011, St. Peter’s Hospital’s Medical Staff granted privileges to qualified, non-employee radiologists, including the physicians of Montana Interventional and Diagnostic Radiology Specialists, PLLC (MIDRS), a professional limited liability company whose members are engaged in the practice of radiology. In July 2011, the Hospital closed its radiology department to all non-employee physicians regardless of qualification. MIDRS brought this action against the Hospital, alleging intentional interference with prospective advantage and unfair trade practices. The district court granted the Hospital’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed the complaint as untimely, concluding that MIDRS filed its complaint outside of the applicable statutes of limitation. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the accrual of MIDRS’ claims could not be determined from the pleadings alone and that further development of the record was necessary. View "Mont.
