Miller Rhoades v. Prudential Leasing Corporation

This suit was brought by appellee, Prudential Leasing Corporation, against appellant Miller Rhoades to recover damages for breach of a lease contract by which certain items of motor transportation equipment had been leased to Rhoades. Rhoades eventually filed a cross-action for money damages for alleged misrepresentations which he claimed induced him to enter into the transaction. With respect to Prudentials action against Rhoades, a partial summary judgment was entered in Prudentials behalf on June 9, 1965, and final judgment in its behalf following subsequent trial on the merits of the issues remaining. On June 30, 1965, summary judgment was entered that Rhoades take nothing by his cross-action against Prudential.
