Nutt v. Knutson

Briscoe, J.:

V. Craig Nutt appeals from the district court’s granting of a directed verdict for defendants Robert Knutson and Horizon Mortgage Services, Inc. The district court found the oral contract between Nutt and defendants was void under the statute of frauds, K.S.A. 33-106.

Nutt contends the district court erred in granting defendants’ motion for a directed verdict. Although the parties and the district court styled and dealt with the motion as one for a directed verdict under K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 60-250, we will treat the motion as a motion for involuntary dismissal under K.S.A. 60-241(b).
