Supreme Court Reverses Verdict in Riddell Suit Against Peck Williams
The Montana Supreme Court reverses the lower court and remands for a new trial in the contract dispute between J A Riddell James Suiter and the Peck Williams Company over a heating and ventilating plant for the agricultural college at Bozeman. The decision holds that oral promises cannot modify a written contract and that partial performance does not bind the defendant. The ruling also remands Hurley v ONeill for proper costs handling and fixes that execution was improperly issued.
