Man puts down $2000 for a slip with water and electricity.
Owner sold the property and new owner flipped the property.
Current owner doesn't honor access to water and electricity.

Boat owner keeps boat for 7 weeks at slip without water and electrical
(details unclear).
Boat owner wants $2000 refunded.

Judge says?

Let me see the contract.

Verbal.


ill allow witnesses.

Now playing arm chair lawyer in cyber space :-)

Verbal contracts are still valid contracts. So unless the existence or
terms are in dispute. That would not be a issue.

If the new owner had no knowledge of the preexisting agreement I would
think the "Boat Owner" is suing the wrong person and has no business
relationship with the new owner.

If the new owner did know that this was a preexisting contract and still
accepted the sale he would have to honor it.

Ok I am sure I am wrong, but decided to give it a shot.
