Renaissance Leasing, LLC, Appellants v. Vermeer Manufacturing Company, Vermeer Great Plains, Inc., Respondents

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment on most claims but reversed the judgments against Renaissance on its express-warranty claim and against Uhlmann on his negligent-misrepresentation claim. It held that evidence created jury questions concerning transfer of the equipment, assignment of warranty rights, Renaissance's injury, and Uhlmann's reliance and negligent-misrepresentation theories, while the other claims failed for lack of proof, lack of privity, failure to establish the assignor's injury, or the economic-loss warranty framework. The judgment concerning costs was vacated and the case was remanded.
