Court of Appeals of Maryland held that jurisdiction of the Maryland
Health Claims Arbitration Act did not include claims for damages
arising from a professional's failure to exercise due care in a
non-professional situation such as premises liability.
This brought several classes of plaintiffs out
of the arbitration system, once more entitling such plaintiffs to trial
by jury.

workers became eligible for insurance reimbursement.
