Description
Argued: June 7, 1999 ¶1 William and Janet Gafner and their daughter Shannon appeal from the summary judgment entered by the Superior Court (Washington County, Marden, J.) in favor of Down East Community Hospital on the Gafners' claims against the Hospital for professional negligence. On appeal, the Gafners claim, inter alia: (1) that the court exceeded the bounds of its discretion when it denied their motion for extension of time to designate an expert witness and granted the Hospital's motion to strike the designation; (2) that the Superior Court lacked authority under the Maine Health Security Act to rule on the Hospital's summary judgment motion; and (3) that we should allow suit against the Hospital on a theory of corporate liability. We affirm in part and vacate in part. I. BACKGROUND
