J. Silva grants the developer's motion to dismiss his former partner's contract claim. The developer made significant purchases of shares of cannabidiol companies on his long-term partner's recommendation, a move that also included discussion of a 50/50 partnership. Though certain meetings were held in Nevada, investments were made in companies headquartered in other states, and the developer has not purposefully conducted business in Nevada or purposefully directed his activities toward Nevada. There is no basis for jurisdiction.

J. Worthen dissolves the temporary injunction granted to the business partner. The partner sought declaratory judgment that a note for land is not in default because the amount the owner owes the partner pursuant to a default judgment in another contract dispute exceeds the amount of the payment owed for the land. The injunction prevented the owner from foreclosing until the trial court rendered judgment and ordered the parties to schedule a trial. The trial court’s requirement the parties schedule a trial for an unspecified date by contacting the court coordinator does not comply with the rule governing the setting of the cause for a trial on the merits.
Court: Texas Courts of Appeals, Judge: Worthen , Filed On: January 31, 2024, Case #: 12-23-00211-CV, Categories: Due Process, partnerships, contract

J. Chesler dismisses claims contending a co-owner of a boutique employment and recruiting agency received a lowball offer to buy out her shares; that bank access had been cut off; and that she had been prohibited from disclosing information about the company to third parties. Evidence does not indicate the non-disclosure agreement constituted a "reasonable restriction" to the deal, and much of the conduct merely constituted "hardball negotiating tactics."
Court: USDC New Jersey, Judge: Chesler , Filed On: December 8, 2023, Case #: 2:23cv2620, NOS: Other Contract - Contract, Categories: partnerships, contract
Per curiam, the appellate division finds that the lower court properly held that a co-owner's interest in two car dealerships ended when he turned over his shares to his partner under the terms of an agreement triggered by his conviction for murdering his wife. That he was ultimately acquitted after several trials did not return him as an owner to provide him a majority stake because, by its own terms, the agreement had ended when his partner was the sole remaining shareholder. Affirmed.

J. Nowell finds that the lower court improperly granted summary judgment to the appellees on most of the claims in this suit stemming from an alleged business partnership. As to the individual plaintiff's breach of partnership claim, the appellees failed to show that the statute of limitations accrued when the certificate of formation was filed. Summary judgment was appropriate, however, on his defamation per se claim. Reversed in part.

J. Arnold finds a lower court properly dismissed a former partner's claims for shares in a medical practice. The former partner argued that he is entitled to 1,600 shares in the practice as a former employee and shareholder. However, a provision in the parties' agreement clearly states that a partner who is expelled from the partnership is obligated to sell his shares to the remaining shareholders. Affirmed.

J. Fallon denies a request by a professional wrestler and a Florida-based entertainment company to dismiss a costume maker’s contract and copyright claims related to the manufacture of its modified “Viper Silicon Mask” for the wrestler’s costume. The wrestler and organization never reached an agreement. However, they proceeded to manufacture and sell tens of thousands of merchandizing goods, including T-shirts, face masks and action figures, based on the costume maker’s modified mask. The company adequately alleges that its contract claim is not preempted by federal copyright law.
