Bass v. Jones CA6
This action arises out of a dispute between family members (mother and daughter) concerning residential property located on Swallow Lane in Gilroy (the Property). Plaintiffs and respondents Allison Bass and Jason Bass (collectively, Plaintiffs or Bass) moved into the Property in 2010 after its purchase by defendants and appellants Linda K. Jones and Frank T. Jones (collectively, Defendants or Jones). Allison and Jason Bass are the daughter and son-in-law, respectively, of Linda Jones. Although not clearly disclosed in the record before us, Plaintiffs asserted in the lawsuit that they had a contract or an option to buy the Property from Defendants for the same price Defendants originally paid for it, i.e., $426,000. After a bench trial, the court granted Defendants’ motion for summary disposition of the case (hereafter, the Dispositive Motion); the motion was termed at trial a nonsuit motion, and was described in the subsequent judgment as a motion for judgment.
