Hayes v. Hettinga

LeGRAND, Justice.

This is a suit under the Uniform Commercial Code (Chapter 554, The Code, 1971), by which plaintiff seeks to recover for alleged breach of contract. Defendant, in turn, counterclaimed for damages, asserting the breach was plaintiff’s, not his. The case was tried without a jury. The trial court found against plaintiff and dismissed his petition. On the counterclaim, defendant was awarded judgment for return of the partial payment he had made on the contract, but his prayer for other damages was disallowed. Both parties appeal, and we affirm on both appeals.
