Cal Aero JetCenter v. Oldridge
Defendant and cross-complainant Riley Air Charter, Inc. appeals from a judgment in favor of plaintiff and cross-defendant Cal Aero Jet Center, LLC (Cal Aero) and plaintiff Phillip Oldridge. Cal Aero recovered damages for breach of a written lease of an aircraft. Defendant claims the court erred in admitting parol evidence to vary the terms of the lease and as a result the damages awarded were incorrect. It also contends the statement of decision was inadequate because it failed to explain the basis for admitting parol evidence and computation of the damages awarded and did not discuss the defense of failure to mitigate damages. Court reverse and remand for the court to calculate an additional amount of rent to be paid to defendant and otherwise affirm.
