The plaintiff moved for summary judgment on an action for payment of a promissory note executed by the defendants.
The defendants argued the note was unenforceable due to an oral collateral agreement, lack of consideration, duress, and fraudulent misrepresentation.
The court granted summary judgment, finding no genuine issue for trial.
The court applied the parol evidence rule to exclude evidence of the alleged collateral agreement and found the defendants' claims of duress and fraud to be unsupported by credible evidence.
The plaintiff was awarded $250,000 plus interest.
