Yale Holdings, LLC v. Capital One Bank
May 21, 2014OUTCOME: Reversed and remanded
Represented the plaintiff-appellant. The dispute centered on a trust deed that contained inconsistent descriptions of the property that it encumbers. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial co ... urt concluded that the tax-parcel-number description controls, and that, as a result, the trust deed encumbers the entirety of the mansion and grounds. The Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the trust deed was ambiguous as to what property it encumbered, and that the trial court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of Capital One.
