Heading: Whether the Deposit was Refundable

Text: 32 Interstate seeks the return of its $75,000 deposit, arguing that there was an express oral agreement with Brown that the deposit was refundable. 9 The jury rejected this claim. Brown testified that he told Interstate's Becker, before Becker paid the deposit, that the deposit was not refundable. Brown's testimony was supported by the testimony of Daniel Freidel, Freidel's president, and John Dulla that Freidel's needed a deposit from Brown to hold the eight color press. That Freidel's took the press off the market in exchange for the deposit, a fact not disputed at trial, further supported the jury's determination. There is no reason to disturb the jury's finding on this claim.
