GOUGE v. McNAMARA

No. 97-1349.

586 N.W.2d 710 (1998)

Pete GOUGE, Appellant, v. Robert McNAMARA, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Iowa.

September 30, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Todd P. Forsythe, Cedar Rapids, for appellant.

Rustin T. Davenport of DeVries, Price & Davenport, Mason City, for appellee.

Considered by CADY, C.J., and STREIT and MAHAN, JJ.


STREIT, Judge.

Pete Gouge appeals from the district court's refusal to reform or rescind a settlement agreement he signed obligating him individually, rather than his corporation, to pay benefits to an injured employee. He claims mutual mistake, fraud, and inequitable conduct as grounds for reformation or rescission. Because Gouge has not proven any of these grounds, we affirm the trial courts ruling obligating him to the terms of the agreement.
