Superior Detail, Lonnie Vaught and Julie Vaught Missouri Cases

TCN Investments, LLC, sued Superior Detail, LLC, and its guarantors, Lonnie and Julie Vaught, for breach of a commercial lease agreement. The trial court found in favor of TCN, awarding damages for unpaid rent, reletting costs, and restoration expenses, along with attorney's fees. On appeal, Superior challenged the trial court's interpretation of the lease regarding damage offsets, the inclusion of alteration costs as reletting expenses, and the award for landscaping restoration. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment on all substantive issues but remanded the case for the sole purpose of determining the amount of reasonable attorney's fees TCN incurred on appeal.
