Supreme Court of Minnesota

Alpha Real Estate Company of Rochester, Petitioner, Appellant v. Delta Dental Plan of Minnesota, Respondents

July 3, 20032003 Minn. LEXIS 398

Summary

The court held that failure to move for a new trial does not restrict appellate review of substantive legal questions that were properly raised and considered below. It further held that the later lease was a complete and unambiguous integration, so the additional-rent obligation did not survive the purchase-option closing and could not be added through extrinsic evidence or reformation. The court remanded the statutory legality issue for de novo review and otherwise affirmed in part.
