Meyer v. Strom

Harold O. Meyer, the lessor of certain well-drilling equipment, brought this action to recover damages in the sum of $909.99, for a breach of the written lease agreement. The lessee, Bert A. Strom, and Strom’s wife, as defendants in the action, contested some of the items relied upon by plaintiff. They also filed a counterclaim seeking recovery for materials and services furnished to plaintiff. The effect of the answer and counterclaim was to seek a set-off of all sums admittedly due on the plaintiff’s claim, and to obtain judgment in behalf of the defendants in the sum of $250.34.
