How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that contractual language consenting to entry prevents a breach of the peace unless the entry is into the home or a closed structure or some other event occurs during the repossession that breaches the peace
  • holding in part that repossession of car parked in driveway was conclusively “non-actionable” where there was no entry into a home or other closed building, and noting there need be “something more” than merely entering the real property of the debtor
  • no breach of the peace occurred where car was parked partially under carport and undisputed that no door, “not even one to a garage,” on the debtor’s premises was opened, much less broken, to repossess the car
