Watkins Inc. v. Chilkoot Distributing, Inc., et al., No. 10-3127 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseAppellants appealed the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment in favor of appellee on their claim for breach of a 1988 contract between the parties. The district court held that the 1988 contract had been superseded by a subsequent agreement between the parties and appellants' claim for breach of the 1988 contract failed as a matter of law. The court held that because there was a genuine issue of fact as to whether appellants and appellee mutually assented to enter a new contract, the court reversed and remanded.
Court Description: Civil case - Contracts. The district court erred in granting defendants summary judgment on plaintiff's claim for breach of contract as there was genuine issue of fact as to whether the parties intended for a 2006 agreement to supersede their 1998 contract.
