Del Norte Senior Center, Inc. v. Stelling CA1/4
Del Norte Senior Center, Inc. (Senior Center) appeals following a nine-day trial in which the jury found in favor of Tracy Stelling, an accountant who had been hired by the Senior Center as an independent contractor to perform bookkeeping services, including for the Senior Center’s energy program, through which it administered various energy contracts funded by government agencies. The Senior Center was forced to return government funds due to accounting irregularities in the energy contracts it administered. The Senior Center sued Stelling and two of its own former employees, seeking damages for, among other things, disallowed costs of its energy program, audit costs, and loss of revenue from suspended contracts. Both Senior Center employees were found to have been negligent, as was the Senior Center itself, but Stelling was found non-negligent in performing her limited accounting duties.
