DO NOT simply copy or attach your brief. Condense the brief into its essentials to teach your classmates.
If another classmate has already posted, feel free to respond with alternative understanding of the case and try to work it out. That’s the BEST learning! I will chime in with clarification if necessary.
Colvin v. Colvin is about two brothers who are business owners of a cattle operation started by their father. They own the business 50% Bill and 50% of ownership is Ben and his wife Juanita. The cattle operation is located in both Oregon and Nevada. Bill operates Oregon operations and Ben operates the Nevada cattle. In 1994 Ben refused to renew a grazing permit needed and left the cattle in the area. This totals to $908.04 in fees. Ben continued to refuse to renew the permit and stack up fines to reach $37,332.32. Ben moved some of the herd back to the operation in Oregon and gained land in Washington state for the cattle also. The lawsuit resulted because Bill and the cattle operation wanted to separate themselves from Ben and the fees that he had accused. The business sued saying that Ben acted unreasonably and without the corporation's authorization. Even though it was agreed upon that they would act independently, the contract did not allow for Ben's behavior and fees to reflect on Bill and the corporation.
This is a small portion of the whole lawsuit and agreement since there were many variables and actions that resulted in the court's decision.
