Eagle Watch Investments v. Smith

On August 21, 1991, Eagle Watch Investments, Inc., filed a complaint in the District Court for the Fourteenth Judicial District in Golden Valley County in which it alleged that Alex and Trudy Smith had breached their lease agreement with Eagle Watch, and in which it sought damages for that breach. Following a non-jury trial, the District Court concluded that the Smiths owed Eagle Watch $509.56 per year for a three-year period of the lease and $20,000 per year during the time of their holdover tenancy. The Smiths appealed the District Courts decision and Eagle Watch cross-appealed. We affirm in part and reverse in part the judgment of the District Court.
