The plaintiff brought a motion for summary judgment seeking $883,197 for the redemption of his Class D shares in a family business following an estate freeze, plus $30,000 for a promissory note.
The defendants argued that the plaintiff had already received partial payment through weekly transfers and expense reimbursements based on an oral agreement.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the dispute centered on unwritten agreements and conflicting evidence that required credibility assessments which could not be resolved on a written record.
