Lease Mart Systems Corp. v. Tehranchi

Lease Mart Systems Corp. v. Tehranchi

The appeal was allowed and the summary judgment set aside because the respondent's pleading framed the claim as a single loan of US$22,750, appellants produced evidence of repayment raising a genuine issue, and the trial judge erred in treating the claim as a larger revolving credit and granting judgment under Rule 76.07(9) when the summary judgment test was not met.
