Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Jason D. Besler, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Chicchelly, J., takes no part. Opinion by Greer, J. (12 pages)
The City of Tiffin appeals the denial of its petition for declaratory judgment against land owned by the City of Coralville, which was previously owned by the Ruth E. Rarick Trust. In part, Tiffin asked the deed be set aside. OPINION HOLDS: Because the Trust was an indispensable party to the suit, which should have been brought in as a party, we reverse the district court’s ruling and remand the case with instruction to allow Tiffin to bring in the indispensable party for further proceedings.
