Exercise 6

Ethics Case Indiana Tri-City Plaza Bowl (Tri-City) leased a building from Charles H. Glueck for use as a bowling alley. The lease provided that Glueck was to provide adequate paved parking for the building. The lease gave Tri-City the right to approve the plans for the construction and paving of the parking lot. When Glueck submitted paving plans to Tri­City, it rejected the plans and withheld its approval. Tri-City argued that the plans were required to meet its personal satis­faction before it had to approve them. Evidence showed that the plans were commercially reasonable in the circumstances. A lawsuit was filed between Tri-City and Glueck. Who wins? Was it ethical for Tri-City to reject the plans? Indiana Tri­City Plaza Bowl , Inc. v. Estate of Glueck , 422 N.E.2d 670, Web 1981 Ind.App. Lexis 1506 (Court of Appeals of Indiana)
