Description:
Iowa City, Iowa civil litigation lawyers represented the parties in a breach of contract dispute.
Where's the beef? That is the pivotal question brought before us in this case. Despite days of trial and years of litigation, we are left just as confused now as the day the original petition was filed. We only know that a full-blood black Wagyu bull named Michiyoshi disappeared into thin air. Sarah Bailey and the estate of Eric Bailey (together, the "Baileysâ€) appeal the district court's entry of judgment following a jury trial in which they were found liable for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation and assessed damages. The jury found the Baileys breached a livestock agreement with American Wagyu Breeders, LLC (AWB) under which they were to care for Michiyoshi. The jury also found the
Baileys made fraudulent misrepresentations to AWB concerning Michiyoshi, and it awarded AWB damages of $460,000.
