Wholesome Choice Market v. Arefian CA4/3
This is an appeal from a judgment after a bench trial. According to the complaint, the underlying dispute arose out of the operation of a food court in a grocery store. Defendant Parviz Arefian owned defendant Paak Foods, Inc., which operated the food court in a grocery store owned by plaintiff Wholesome Choice Market, Inc. (Wholesome Choice). There was a dispute about money defendants owed, and the parties signed a settlement agreement setting forth a particular amount owed. Defendants failed to pay it. Wholesome Choice sued on the settlement agreement, and defendants cross-complained, arguing they signed the agreement under economic duress and that plaintiff had committed fraud. After a bench trial, the court adopted Wholesome Choice’s position and rejected Arefian’s claims and defenses. Arefian appealed.
