Rogers v. Jackson
Supreme Court of Maine
804 A.2d 379 (Me. 2002)
Facts
Glenn Jackson (Jackson) (defendant) executed a promissory note, which stated that he promised to pay Paul and Pamela Rogers (the Rogers) (plaintiffs) $3000 plus interest, over the course of two years. Jackson defaulted and the Rogers sued him for breach of contract. Jackson answered by alleging that the promissory note was only one part of a larger agreement and, according to that agreement, he was not required to make payments unless he was able. The Rogers filed a motion for summary judgment, which the lower court granted. Jackson appealed.
