Timberline Equipment Co. v. Davenport
Oregon Supreme Court
514 P.2d 1109 (1973)
- Written by DeAnna Swearingen, LLM
Facts
Kenneth L. Davenport, Dr. Gorman, and Dr. Bennett (defendants) were partners doing business as “Aero-Fabb Co.” In January 1970, Bennett submitted defective articles of incorporation. Before the certificate of incorporation was issued in the name of Aero-Fabb Corp. (Aero-Fabb) in June, Davenport entered into a rental agreement with Timberline Equipment Co. (Timberline) (plaintiff) on behalf of Aero-Fabb. Timberline sued the defendants under the rental agreements. The trial court found for the plaintiff. Bennett alone appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court.
