STEES V. LEONARD
20 Minn. 494, 20 Gil. 448 (1874)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Leonard (D) appealed an order denying a new trial in an action
brought to recover damages for breach of contract.
FACTS: Leonard (D) agreed to erect a building on Stees' (P) lot. The building was built
up to the third story when it fell to the ground. D began again and the building fell down a
second time. D claimed that it did the work in compliance with P's specifications, but the
soil at the building site was quicksand and would not support a building. P's specifications
contained no provision relating to the building's foundations. P sued, claiming that the
fall of the building was due to D's negligence. P got a judgment for $5,214.80 plus
interest. D appealed.
