Eighth Circuit: Civic Partners Sioux City, LLC v. Main Street Theatres


Contracts, Property



Covenant outside the lease to obtain the consent of a third party prior to the ending of a lease did not bar the ending of the lease according to the lease's plain terms.  Lease's commitment to make payments between the parties did not bar the ending of the lease.

Although the third party was a more than incidental beneficiary of the lease, this would merely provide a cause of action upon breach.
