Tomorrow's opinions, June 25, 2009
The Washington Supreme Court will issue two rulings tomorrow.
Estate of Haselwood v. Bremerton Ice Arena, No. 80411-7 (case briefs and arguments). Whether a materialmen’s lien that did not attach to public land upon which improvements were made had priority over a deed of trust to the property filed after delivery of the materials giving rise to the lien.
Torgerson Family Trust v. One Lincoln Tower, LLC, No. 80623-3 (case briefs and arguments). Whether a clause in a real estate purchase and sale contract limiting the remedy for the seller’s breach to return of the buyer’s deposit money is unconscionable, fails of its essential purpose, or is contrary to public policy.
