Description
This case involves a contract dispute arising from the termination of two contracts for security services between United Protective Services (United) and two commercial property owners, West Village Limited Partnership (West Village) and Preston Royal Realty Company (Preston Royal). United sued West Village and Preston Royal for breach of contract and for a declaratory judgment arguing the contracts required defendants to give thirty days notice before termination and requesting damages. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The trial court granted the defendants motion, denied Uniteds motion, ordered that United take nothing by its suit, and awarded attorneys fees to defendants. In three issues, United argues the trial court erred: (1) in granting summary judgment for defendants because the contracts unambiguously require thirty days notice before termination; (2) in denying Uniteds cross-motion for summary judgment; and (3) in awarding attorneys fees to defendants under the declaratory judgments act. We conclude the contracts at issue are ambiguous and thus summary judgment was improper. We reverse the final judgment of the trial court and remand the case for further proceedings.
