Stuckless v. Springle

Stuckless v. Springle

No executed asset purchase agreement existed and evidence did not establish entitlement to claimed sums except where documentary accounting proved specific liabilities; MasterCard liability of $4,388.43 was established as owing by Eaglespirit to Everett Rodger Stuckless, and Eaglespirit established a greater counterclaim for shared expenses and property resulting in a net judgment in its favour; insufficient evidence to impose BDC loan liability on Eagle Tablets.
