Samuels v. Forest
Plaintiff and appellant Noeman Samuels sued defendant Ira Forest claiming that Forest intentionally interfered with an oral agreement between Samuels and Sohrab and Faramarz Shakib (the "Shakibs") pursuant to which the Shakibs agreed that they would not attempt to purchase the Canyon Center, commercial property located in Santa Clarita (the "Property"), from Forest unless and until they were notified by Samuels that he was unable to reach and consummate a deal to acquire the Property himself.[1]On Forest's demurrer, the trial court ruled that the statute of limitations barred this lawsuit, and that, "Forest, the seller of the property, was not bound by the alleged agreement between plaintiff and defendants Sohrab Shakib and Faramarz Shakib and was privileged to sell his property to whomever he wished." Court conclude that the statute of limitations bars the action, and so affirm the judgment.
