Partnership Lawsuit

Seymour v. Harris

This case involved a partnership dispute. The partnership owned a storage facility located in Alpine, CA. Defendant Harris represented to his two partners that the bank who held the trust deed on the property was going to foreclose due to lack of making timely payments on the mortgage. He represented that the bank would only agree to refinance the property if he became the sole owner of the property. In exchange for transferring their interest in the storage facility, the defendant agreed to provide his two partners with promissory notes in the sum of $17,000.00 each to be made payable in 5 years.
