XLHealth KOs Breach of Contract Action
Stradley secured summary judgment for XLHealth, a division of UnitedHealthcare, in a breach of contract action brought by XLHealth’s automated-mail processing vendor. After extensive discovery and with settlement discussions deadlocked, the parties cross-moved for summary judgment, taking diametrically opposed positions on an issue of contract ambiguity. Chief Judge Conner adopted Stradley’s position, granted summary judgment in XLHealth’s favor, denied the vendor’s cross-motion, and dismissed the case in its entirety.
