McCormac-Ebert Case Reopened Over Ebert Garage Possession
A revival of the McCormac-Ebert dispute opened before Police Magistrate Donald Weems regarding possession of the Ebert garage. Three issues govern the suit: tenancy type, validity of notice to vacate, and rent arrears. The plaintiff’s counsel argues Ebert admitted arrears and that a 30 day notice is unnecessary, while the defense says notice must be written and explicit. The Firestone company currently occupies the premises as a store room.
