Family Medical Building Inc. v. The

Family Medical Building, Inc. (FMB), brought this action against the State of Washington, Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), and the Department of General Administration (G.A.) for damages when the State allegedly breached a promise to renew DSHSs existing lease and to lease additional space in FMBs building in Omak, Washington. The State appeals from a judgment awarding FMB $169,000 and from the order denying it judgment notwithstanding the verdict and/or new trial. We affirm on the issue of liability, but reverse and remand for a new trial on the issue of damages.
