FIEGE V. BOEHM
210 Md. 352, 123 A 2d 316 (1956)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a breach of contract action for damages. Fiege (D) appealed
from an order, which overruled D's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new
trial in Boehm's (P) action for breach of contract to recover the expenses incident to the
birth of and to provide support for D's illegitimate child.
FACTS: Boehm (P) became pregnant and believed, in good faith, that Fiege (D) was the
father; P threatened D with a suit in bastardy. In response, D promised to pay for the birth
expenses and make support payments for the raising of the child as long as P would not
institute legal proceedings. D made payments under the agreement but stopped when blood
tests revealed that he was not the father. D prevailed at a subsequent trial on the charges
of bastardy by the state. P then sued to enforce the agreement for support in civil court.
The jury found that D was liable to P. D appealed.
