The plaintiff brings this action alleging the defendant, Frisbie Memorial Hospital ("Frisbie" or "the hospital"), breached a contract arising from the hospital's bylaws when it informed the plaintiff that he should no longer provide coverage for emergency department physicians. Specifically, the plaintiff contends the bylaws, which govern the exercise of medical staff privileges, create contractual rights to "employment opportunity" which the hospital violated by refusing to allow him to work on a part-time basis following his resignation as a full-time employee. In addition, the plaintiff asserts that the hospital breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing contained in the aforementioned contract. The defendant moves for summary judgment on these claims. The plaintiff objects.
