Kilbane finds the trial court partially erred in its judgment in a case involving a dispute between the debt purchaser and the debtor over a security agreement and four promissory notes. The portion of the trial court's judgment holding the debtor liable for a $75,000 debt connected to the security agreement is affirmed, but it is reversed as to the potion of the judgment related to a nearly $300,000 additional liability connected to the four promissory notes because the trial court abused its discretion by giving the debt purchaser a rehearing when he claimed to have found the original notes after not producing them at trial. The case is remanded to enter a judgment dismissing with prejudice the debt purchaser's claims related to the promissory notes. Affirmed in part.
