Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action brought by Bonanza, Inc., the lessee under a
92-year lease of land for commercial purposes, for a declaratory
judgment that the lease was in full force and effect. Bonanza
also sought damages for breach of contract. The original lessor
was Sweetbriar Gardens, Inc., which was later dissolved. The
defendant, E.A. McLean, became the sole owner of the corporate
assets and, thus, stands in the shoes of the original lessor. In
response to the petition of Bonanza, defendant McLean filed 18
counterclaims and cross-claims denying the validity of the lease
and adding, as third-party defendants, Jack R. Hunt, the owner of
Bonanza; the City of Wichita; and the Southwest National Bank. Following completion of discovery, the trial court granted
plaintiff Bonanza summary judgment on all of McLean's
counterclaims. The case then proceeded to trial by the court on
plaintiff's claim of breach of contract. The trial court awarded
plaintiff judgment for damages in the amount of $63,694.
Defendant McLean appealed.
