Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Charles E. Cornett and Virginia B. Cornett, husband and wife, the plaintiffs in the trial court, appeal from various judgments and orders entered in favor of the defendants, Clifford R. Roth and Mid-Continent Research, Inc. The defendant Mid-Continent Research, Inc., was formerly known as Mid-Continent Research Animals, Inc., and will be referred to herein as MCRA. The Cornetts also appeal from the assessment of an attorney fee for allegedly filing a frivolous motion and from a judgment in favor of Roth in a different case which was consolidated with the principal case in the trial court. The facts, which are complicated and confusing, need to be set forth in some detail. In July, 1977, the Cornetts approached Mr. Roth, an attorney in Johnson County, about the possibility of selling a business operation and two pieces of real estate. It was alleged that Roth was the business adviser, or the attorney for the Cornetts, or represented them in some other unspecified fiduciary relationship. Roth denied any representation of the Cornetts or the existence of any fiduciary relationship. The Cornetts were the owners of a business known as Mid-Continent Research Animals, Inc. which raised and supplied rats for research purposes. The business was located upon fourteen acres of real estate which the Cornetts desired to sell, along with the business itself. The second tract of land was a quarter section of farm property located in Johnson County. Roth determined that he would purchase both tracts of land and the corporate stock of MCRA.
