Paul J. Sorum v. Mike Sikorski and Big Sky Limited of Wyoming, a Wyoming Corporation

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed the district court's order entered after a limited remand, which found that Paul Sorum made a personal oral guarantee to pay Mike Sikorski for the Clean Crude storage-tank leases with personal funds if the company did not pay, breached that guarantee, and reaffirmed the $114,537.56 judgment against Sorum personally. The court held the district court substantially complied with the mandate in Sorum I by confining the remand hearing to the oral-guarantee issue, and that Sorum — who offered no evidence beyond his own testimony — was not denied an opportunity to present relevant evidence. The court further held that Sikorski's credited testimony established an enforceable oral contract and that the finding of formation and breach was not clearly erroneous.
