Kurt N. Aslakson, et al., Appellants, v. Home Savings Association, Respondent, Upper
Northwest Payment Plans Co., Respondent
No. C6-87-1497
Court of Appeals of Minnesota
416 N.W.2d 786; 1987 Minn. App. LEXIS 5110; 6 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. 2d (Callaghan) 35
December 3, 1987, Decided December 15, 1987, Filed
PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from Hennepin County, District Court, Hon. Ann
Montgomery, Judge.
DISPOSITION: Affirmed. CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellant homeowners sought review of the decision from the
Hennepin County, District Court (Minnesota), which granted summary judgment in favor of
respondents, savings association and payment plan, on the homeowners\' claim of tortious
interference with contract.
OVERVIEW: The homeowners entered into a conditional sales contract to purchase a mobile
home. Subsequently the contract was assigned to the savings associationThe homeowners argued
that thetrial court erred in determining, as a matter of law, that their claims of wrongful
interference with contracts were invalid. The court determined that the trial court had correctly
determined that a contract between the homeowners and a subsequent buyer could not arise
absent performance of a condition precedent, which was the approval of the subsequent buyer\'s
assumption of the loan. Even if this court were to determine that valid contracts existed between
the homeowners and prospective buyers, the issue of justification would have to be addressed
and the savings association and payment plan would have prevailed. Credit checks and equity
interests were commercially reasonable assurances and could not be met by the prospective
buyers. The savings association and payment plan were within their right to refuse the
assignment.
OUTCOME: The court affirmed the decision from the trial court.
CORE TERMS: mobile home, materially, prospective buyer, breach of contract, assignee,
buyer\'s, purchase agreement, assignor, summary judgment, down payment, substantial interest,
conditional, assurances, assigned, inducing, delegate, condition precedent, contractual,
contingent, delegation, tortious interference, credit check, right to refuse, wrongful interference,
