Juliuson v. Johnson

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment dismissing Juliuson’s claims after concluding the evidence created factual disputes for the jury concerning waiver and acceptance of the lease-renewal option, and that the right-of-first-refusal claim necessarily failed with the renewal claim. It also upheld dismissal of specific performance because the jury found no underlying contractual breach, and upheld judgment as a matter of law on the implied-covenant and deceit claims because those theories lacked an independent tortious basis or sufficient independent evidence. No separate opinions were filed.
