Description
The trial court in this case granted SAS Institute's motion for summary judgment, requiring John Breitenfeld to repay a bonus on a cancelled sale based on a commission contract between the two parties. The court of appeals reversed and rendered judgment on Breitenfeld's motion for summary judgment against SAS, allowing Breitenfeld to keep the bonus under the commission contract. We hold the contract language is unambiguous and Breitenfeld is required to pay back the bonus he received because the sale on which the bonus was based was cancelled. Accordingly, we reverse the court of appeals' judgment and reinstate the judgment of the trial court. Breitenfeld joined SAS, a software company, as a sales representative in April of 2001. As part of his employment he signed a commission contract that provided for compensation based on his sales of SAS's products. In December 2001, Breitenfeld received sales credit for a one million dollar sale to Methodist Healthcare System. Accordingly, in February and March of 2002, he was paid a substantial bonus for the sale. But in April of 2002, Methodist Healthcare cancelled its order. Breitenfeld resigned his employment with SAS the following June, without refunding the bonus he had received for the Methodist Healthcare sale. SAS demanded repayment of the bonus, and Breitenfeld refused to pay. SAS sued, and both parties filed motions for summary judgment.
