Wray v. City of Greensboro

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided August 18, 2017No. 255A16PublishedCited by 73 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HUDSON, Justice.

**42This case involves attempts by plaintiff, David Wray, a former Chief of Police for defendant, the City of Greensboro, to obtain reimbursement from the City for costs incurred by plaintiff in defending lawsuits brought against him for events that occurred during his tenure as Chief of Police. Because we conclude that plaintiff has sufficiently pleaded waiver of governmental immunity by alleging the essence of a contract claim, we affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals reversing the trial court's order of dismissal *896and remanding the matter for further proceedings.
