Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, John M. Wright, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Badding, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (15 pages)
Leanne Rana appeals the judgment of the district court finding that she breached an express oral contract with Stanley Higdon. On appeal, she argues (1) the district court erred by not finding Higdon to be an incompetent witness and (2) the evidence was insufficient to establish that she ever manifested assent to a contract. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm, finding (1) Rana’s competency argument was not preserved for appeal and (2) the record discloses substantial evidence of mutual assent to a contract.
