Description
Defendants Charles H. and Eileen M. Ballard, husband and wife, appeal from a decree of specific performance of a "stock buy-out" agreement requiring them to sell the plaintiff, Rogers Walla Walla, Inc. (Rogers), 2,400 shares of its stock for the stated sum of $10,000. The decree is challenged as improper against Eileen M. Ballard individually because she had not signed the buy out agreement and the stock ownership was subsequently alleged to have been converted to joint tenancy. The appeal also challenges the availability of specific performance as a remedy. These challenges raise three issues: (1) the effect of a designation of the shares in joint tenancy upon their original community property status; (2) whether the shares had been subject to a stock split or a stock dividend as the result of a corporate merger; and (3) whether Rogers is a close corporation. For the reasons stated below we affirm the judgment.
