Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Delaware County, Monica Zrinyi Ackley, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard en banc, but decided by Tabor, C.J., Greer, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (18 pages)
Bradford Manatt appeals the summary judgment order finding he must offer his shares of a company to his brother, Anthony Manatt under a mandatory buy-sell agreement. Brad argues there are genuine issues of material fact about the enforceability of the buy-sell agreement. He also argues his affirmative defenses require determination by a jury. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record reveals no jury question on the enforceability of the buy-sell agreement and Brad did not preserve error on affirmative defenses, we affirm.
