In Corby v. McCarthy, 154 Md. App. 446, 840 A.2d 188 (2003), the Court elaborated on the "exceptional circumstances" that might warrant an appellate court's departure from a prior decision, explaining that "the Court of Appeals has carved out three exceptions to the general rule regarding law of the case. . . ." The three exceptions are: (1) when "'the evidence on a subsequent trial was substantially different'"; (2) when a "'controlling authority has since made a contrary decision on the law applicable to such issues'"; or (3) where "'the decision was clearly erroneous and would work a manifest injustice.'" Id. at 479.
