2024Regardless, the issue of whether the statute of limitations prevents a vicarious liability claim against Medical Group based upon the conduct of Dr. James was tried by implied consent, by being raised and thoroughly argued by the parties in their summary judgment filings where evidence relevant only to that issue was submitted without objection. “[I]ssues not raised in the pleadings are considered, in all respects, as if they had been raised by the pleadings when they are tried by implied or express consent of the parties.” Bone v.

Montgomery v. South County Radiologists, Inc. green

1 sentence

2021In Montgomery, 49 S.W.3d 191 , the Missouri Supreme Court rejected an argument by a corporate multi-physician radiology clinic that the “continuing care” exception only applies to claims against an individual treating physician: SCR strenuously argues that its services – even if continuing – are not of such a nature as to charge it with a duty of continuing care and treatment.

2020Although M.N. has indicated an alternative vicarious liability standard may apply to his claim—specifically the framework established in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998)—we disagree.

2020In Faragher, which involved a claim of employment discrimination under Title VII, the U.S. Supreme Court determined under what circumstances an employer could be held vicariously liable for its supervisory employee’s harassment of a subordinate employee. 10 See 524 U.S. at 780 .
