Joe D. Milner's Legal Cases (3)

Construction and development

Condovest Corporation vs. John Street Builders, Inc.

Nov 30, 1983

OUTCOME: We were able to defeat Plaintiff's case.

Plaintiff claimed that Defendant had breached a contract. Plaintiff wanted to put extreme financial pressure on Defendant by asking for specific performance and trying to delay the litigation by getti ... ng a "legislative continuance" at a time when the interest rate my client was paying on construction debt was 18%+. We defeated the request for a continuance and got summary judgment on the issue of specific performance. The Plaintiff appealed and my partner, Pete Meeker won the appeal.

Litigation

Evadine R. Mead vs. The Johnson Group, Inc.

Apr 29, 1981

OUTCOME: Changed the law in Texas on two points.

Prior to this case, upon the sale of a business, if the buyer assumed the debts of the seller's business and then did not pay those debts, the only way the seller could recover for that breach of their ... agreement was if the seller paid off all those debts first. By that time, the buyer of the business has usually run the business into the ground and there are no assets left that could be used to pay the debts. This case changed that law in Texas. It also changed the law regarding damage to credit reputation.

Jun 28, 1972

OUTCOME: Plaintiff prevented theft from elderly couple.

Jackson used undue influence to get elderly couple to sign new Will and Powers of Attorney. This case stopped all of Jackson's plan to get all of their estate.
