C. A. May Marine Supply Company v. Brunswick Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided October 13, 1977No. 76-3410PublishedCited by 35 opinions
1Per curiam
We affirm the judgment of the District Court, granting plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability, for the reasons stated in the order of the District Court, a copy of which is attached hereto as an Appendix.
Brunswick Corporation asserts there was no “dealership” within the meaning of Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law § 135.02(2). The point lacks merit. The contract refers to the plaintiff as a “dealer” and the ongoing duties of advertising, repair, warranty work and financial solvency establish the “community of interest" required by the statute.
AFFIRMED.
