Peterson v. Brandon Coverdell Constr.

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court held that the district court improperly considered a supplemental bill of exceptions because the required amendment procedure was not followed. It further held that the county court's judgment in favor of Brandon Coverdell Construction did not constitute plain error, because the Petersons did not challenge the agreement's enforceability below and relied on that agreement in asserting their own breach-of-contract claim. The court reversed the district court and remanded with directions to affirm the county court's judgment.
