University of Louisville v. Lillard, 2016-SC-64-DG
Sovereign Immunity. Contract. Employment. KRS 45A.245. Issues include whether the University is immune from a former employee’s claim for breach of his written employment contract.
Big Sandy Regional Jail Authority v. Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, 2016-SC-8-DG
Sovereign Immunity. KRS 441.025. At issue in this matter is whether sovereign immunity bars an action by a regional jail against a county to recover the costs of housing that county’s prisoners, after they were arrested and held pursuant to a warrant from courts of that county. In addition, at issue is whether KRS 441.025 obligates a county to pay for the incarceration of prisoners arrested and held on warrants issued by the courts of that county which are served in the county where the prisoner is incarcerated.
