Press Release Body = Thompson & Knight attorneys recently secured a jury verdict in
favor of 9555 West Belt L.P./Bayview USA Holdings LLC, the owner of an office
building located at 9555 W. Sam Houston Parkway, in a dispute involving a tenant’s
breach of a long-term lease. The defendants in the suit were Quality Infusion Care,
Inc., a company which provides services for home health care, and its owners Jim and
Linda Rutherford. Moody Rambin Interests managed the property for 9555 West Belt
L.P.

Quality Infusion was accused of entering into a seven-year lease of office space in
2002, abandoning the premises in 2005, and failing to pay the remainder of the rent
and building operating expenses that were due through 2009. The defendants claimed
they abandoned the space because the property was unsuitable for their business and
because the owner breached the implied warranties of suitability and quiet
enjoyment. Specifically, the defendants claimed the building’s power supply failed
repeatedly. The jury, after a three-day trial, found in favor of the Firm’s client,
and the court entered final judgment on August 6, 2007.

Partner Hunter M. Barrow was the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs and was
assisted by Associate Charles A. Lestage. Both are residents in Thompson & Knight’s
Houston office.
