Text: ¶ 20 In November 2004, Edwards Jet filed a second motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss all of Corporate Air's remaining claims. Edwards Jet argued that the tort claims were duplicative of Corporate Air's contract claims and that once Corporate Air received the contract measure of damages, it would be made whole. Corporate Air responded that the UCC did not preempt its remaining causes of action and that it still had valid claims for fraud and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. ¶ 21 The District Court held a hearing and, on May 9, 2005, entered an order in which the court addressed not only Edwards Jet's second motion for summary judgment, but also Edwards Jet's motion for sanctions under M.R. Civ. P. 26(g), motion to exclude testimony, motion to compel discovery, and motions in limine. In addition, the court addressed the remaining issues from Corporate Air's motion for summary judgment that were not addressed in the September 29, 2004 order, as well as Corporate Air's motion for criminal sanctions, motion to exclude testimony, motion to compel discovery, and motions in limine. The court dismissed Corporate Air's remaining claims, concluding that Corporate Air had relied on a contract theory and thus had elected to be made whole under the Agreement. The court also dismissed Edwards Jet's counterclaims on the ground that they were not supported by the law or the facts. The court declared that all outstanding matters between the parties in this cause of action are hereby resolved pursuant to this Memorandum and Order, and the court dismissed all remaining motions and causes of action. The court then ordered that a hearing be held to determine damages, costs, and fees.
