Eric Barton Quoted in the Daily Report
“Calhoun Bank Owes $207K for Breach of Contract”

Commercial Litigation attorney Eric Barton was quoted extensively in an article appearing in the January 9 Daily Report. The article covered DS Waters of America Inc. v. North Georgia National Bank, a breach of contract case in which Eric represented DS Waters. In the case, DS Waters claimed that it did not receive all of the items agreed upon in a deal with Georgia National Bank. The transaction involved assets of the defunct Cohutta Water Co. The court ruled in favor of DS Waters, awarding them $207,000.

"The bank could not escape the fact that there was a signed written agreement that lists specific items that we testified we did not receive," commented Eric. "DS Waters is obviously very happy with the verdict. We knew to take it all the way—depositions, summary judgment, everything—this would potentially cost more than the amount of the controversy. But they were confident."
