Supreme Court of Alabama
CBS Holdings, LLC v. Hexagon US Federal, Inc. (Appeal from Madison Circuit Court: CV-21-900504).
October 18, 2024
Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed a judgment enforcing HexFed's five-year renewal of a commercial lease and awarding HexFed costs and attorney fees. The court held that CBS Holdings waived its position that one leased bay had only a twelve-month term, that reformation was supported by evidence of mutual mistake, and that HexFed's timely written renewal notice was effective despite an incorrect rent calculation. The court also held that the lease's fee provision authorized HexFed's recovery because it successfully sued to enforce the lease.
