Description
NEBEKER, Associate Judge: This is an appeal from a grant of summary judgment on cross-motions for that relief. The unverified
complaint alleged that certain fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions attributable to appellees were made to appellants
in connection with the latters' purchases of undivided interests in joint ventures. These ventures, known as Series 1 and
Series 5, were organized for the exploration and production of oil and gas by the Hanover Planning Company, Inc. (Hanover),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Hornblower & Weeks-Hemphill, Noyes (Hornblower). We affirm the grant of summary judgment
to the appellees. Hanover was organized in March, 1969, by Hornblower to arrange and manage, as agent, a number of joint ventures through which
customers of Hornblower could participate in the exploration for oil and gas. Appellees were, at all relevant times, either
general partners of Hornblower or officers of Hanover. Appellants Clarence and Dorothy Bennett are husband and wife, and appellant
National Standards Association, Inc. is a corporation wholly owned by the Bennetts.
