FACT & PROCEDURAL HISTORY On April 17th, 2019, Noke Pelisson (Plaintiff) brought suit against Hanna (defendant) alleging breach of contract. Hanna (defendant) had promised to Pelisson (Plaintiff) via an oral contract a fifty or at least thirty percent of ownership, or shares of profits, from certain business activities they had discussed for a period of years and later they even formed some business entities based on these discussions and agreements.
