Nebraska Supreme Court: Doors Should Stay with Sold Custer County Building

ne-supreme-court-gavelOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled against a man who sold a building without disclosing to the buyers that he was taking all of its interior doors with him.

The high court on Friday upheld a Custer County District Court ruling that found Andrew Solomon was wrong to take the building’s 12 interior doors. It ordered his business entity, Drew LLC, to pay Thomas and Heather Griffith $3,420, plus costs, to cover replacement doors.

Solomon appealed, arguing in part that the doors were trade fixtures of the dental practice run by his wife.

But the high court said the doors could not be considered equipment used to carry on a trade. It also said the buyers had a reasonable belief that the doors were part of the purchase agreement.
