Denver firm appeals judgment; Holland & Hart suit

Article Abstract:

The issue in The Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation v Holland and Hart is the alleged negligence of law firm partner Bruce T. Buell in obtaining oil revenue for his relative Temple Buell.

Rocovich, and specified that the Buell companies would have half a year in which to purchase roughly one-third of the mineral rights from Rocovich. Plaintiffs are alleging that the agreement violates the rule against perpetuities.
