COCHRAN V. ROBINHOOD LANE BAPTIST CHURCH
2005 WL 3527627 (2005)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Cochran (P) appealed a summary judgment for Church (D), in P's suit
for injunctive relief or damages for breach of contract.
FACTS: On September 18, 1981, The Reverend began his tenure as Pastor of D. The Reverend
held the job until his death in August 20, 1995. The Reverend was paid a salary and got cell
phone services, beeper services, lawn services, and gas and vehicle maintenance services. At
the Reverend's request, D also accorded the majority of these benefits directly to P, the
Reverand's wife. At the Reverend's request, D entered into an agreement with P wherein the
Church agreed to provide P with $783.56 on the first and third Sunday every month until
September 5, 2010 and would provide lawn services for P's residence. P was to receive those
benefits until her death or she remarried. The agreement terminated all benefits that P
previously received from the Church under the Church's oral agreement with the Reverend for
his services as pastor. In March 1996, D discontinued making payments. P sued Ds seeking
injunctive relief and/or damages for breach of contract and declaratory judgment. P amended
her complaint to include the theory of promissory estoppel as a justification for upholding
the contract. Ds moved for summary judgment. The court granted the motion and P appealed.
