Brazoria County Jury Awards $106,675 in Breach of Contract Case
Brazoria County, TX (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- In Cecil R. Porter v. Gary Leder. Sr., according to court documents, Randy Porter had sold $100,000 worth of fabrication equipment to Gary Leder under a financial agreement. Leder had promised to pay for the equipment in weekly installments for two years, but he failed to make the payments. (Case Number 68099, the 149th District Court in Brazoria, Texas)
Court records show that Leder argued that the equipment wasn’t in the condition that was promised; the plaintiff Cecil R. Porter and his attorney, Stephen R. Kirklin argued that Leder had plenty of opportunity to inspect the equipment and that it was sold as-is.
Leder also used the equipment for two and a half years and had made money off of it, according to court documents.
In Cecil R. Porter v. Gary Leder. Sr., the jury sided with the plaintiff, Randy Porter, and entered a verdict for $72,500 in breach of contract damages and $34,175 in attorneys’ fees, totaling $106,675, according to court records.
