Robles v. Humana Hospital Cartersville

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “Other courts have held that hospital bylaws are binding enforceable contracts once they are approved and adopted by the hospital’s governing board.”
• procedural rights prescribed by the hospital’s bylaws are contractual under Texas law
• The bylaws cannot be considered a contract per se because there is no mutual exchange of consideration which brought them into existence as state law required the hospital to create the bylaws and develop a procedure for reviewing the doctor’s competency.
• “Furthermore, there was no bargained for exchange as to the procedures utilized in the bylaws. Plaintiff had no input into the bylaws, nor did he have the power to change them. Only the Hospital had the power to change the bylaws.”
