Specialtycare IOM Services, LLC v. Medsurant Holdings, LLC

Syllabus

Appellant appeals the trial court's entry of default judgment as a discovery sanction against it. Because there is insufficient evidence of contumacious conduct on the part of Appellant to justify default, we reverse the trial court's entry of default judgment on liability. We vacate the trial court's award of damages on the jury verdict, but affirm the award of attorney's fees as an initial discovery sanction.
