Quality Oil, Inc. v. Kelley Partners, Inc.

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting plaintiff's motion for summary judgment in breach of contract action alleging that plaintiff failed to make minimum purchases of plaintiff's oil products over five-year period after plaintiff had agreed to loan defendant $150,000 as part of said contract. While defendant argued that handwritten clause released it from any obligation to repay loan after conclusion of said five-year period regardless of amount of oil products it had purchased from plaintiff, defendant's interpretation of handwritten clause was inconsistent with contract as whole and was commercially nonsensical where defendant's interpretation of contract called for plaintiff's forgiveness of $150,000 loan regardless of how much/little defendant had purchased plaintiff's oil products.
