The plaintiff, First Colonial Bank for Savings entered into an interpleader action in the District court to determine who was entitled to the surplus proceeds from the foreclosure sale. The foreclosed property belonged to the defendants, Robert H. and Sherrell L. Bergeron, and the codefendants, Ford Motor Credit Company, the junior mortgagee of the foreclosed property as a result of corporate restructuring Ford Consumer Finance Company was substituted as the defendant for Ford Motor Credit Company. Both the Bergerons and Ford filed motions for summary judgement as they both felt entitled to the surplus. The district court ruled in favor of Ford Motor Credit Company and denied the Bergerons motion.

Ms. Gershon testified that Mr. Welchel’s initial complaints were regarding the exterior and exposed walls. She testified that according to Mr. Welchel at the time those walls were not meant to be exposed and that they are interior walls. Ms. Gershon stated that the city looked into how to remedy the issues. One such remedy was a proposed application of a product to the exterior wall which would act as sealant. However, the city was uncertain as to the sealant’s reliability. The city ultimately decided to give and remunerate Mr. Welchel with the funds so that he could provide the repairs to the exterior walls himself. It was at that time they drafted the 1994 release agreement. Ms. Gershon stated that the walkway and the planters appeared to be in all at that period of time. Subsequent to entering the 1994 agreement, Ms. Gershon testified that she did not hear any complaints from Jim Welchel until around 2008 in which at that time he came into her office complaining of water damage to his building from the planters. Following that interaction, Ms. Gershon had the water irrigation system turned off. Ms. Gershon testified that the decision was not directly correlated to Jim Welchel’s complaints rather it was

Coppergate is not liable to pay the total due for the supply of windows because there was no contract between Coppergate and the plaintiff. They could have been involved with the Builders' Lien Act if the contract was made between Plaintiff and Coppergate. However, this contract was only made in between Houser Homes and the plaintiff not with the landowner. Consequently, resources were limited to the subcontractor and no claim as opposed to the owner, or the land that was enhanced. Therefore, it is clear that the claim against Coppergate was bound to fail.

The contractor, upon the breach of his obligations, he caused some damages to the owner and he should be exposed to forfeiture.

To claim negligence, the Strums had to show that Harb had a duty, that he breached that duty, that the breach caused an injury, and that there was an actual injury. A duty may come from a contract or a state law such as a building code. However, the Strums failed to show that Harb was personally a party to the contract and failed to show any duty imposed by law. The Strums also failed to allege the manner in which Harb breached the duty, if there was a duty. Therefore, the Supreme Court found that the Strums had failed to state a case against Harb and dismissed this part of the case. Had the Strums(plaintiffs) asserted in their Complaint facts concerning Harb’s personal behavior and actions, the results of this case may well have been reversed. It is vitally important for a person who has a complaint against another person to allege facts that, if proven to be true, will cause a court to rule in favor of the person who has the
