Lubinski Successfully Prosecutes Before MD Board of Contract Appeals

Jennifer S. Lubinski recently successfully prosecuted an appeal before the Maryland Board of Contract Appeals. The litigation concerned the constitutional and contractual  authority of the state to unilaterally claim that a debt is owed by a contractor and to collect the alleged debt without first submitting the dispute for adjudication. In a scathing opinion authored by Board Chairman Beam, the Board characterized the State’s actions as “outrageous,” awarded the contractor its damages, and wrote that “[i]f ever a case warranted an award of attorneys’ fees, this is it.” The complete opinion may be reviewed here:  https://msbca.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2017/06/View-2.pdf.
