Susan Knight as of the Estate of Elton M. Johnson v. Horse Creek Rock, Inc.

Syllabus

This is a dispute over a lease agreement for property upon which the lessor permitted the lessee to mine limestone. After the original lessor died, his estate demanded that the lessee provide weight tickets as provided in the lease agreement. When the lessee failed to comply, the estate filed suit and the lessee counterclaimed. The trial court granted summary judgment to the estate on its claim for declaratory judgment and declared that the lease agreement was terminated. The court also granted summary judgment in favor of the estate on the lessee's counterclaim for intentional interference with a business relationship. We affirm the decision of the trial court in all respects.
