¶ The clear facts remain that Anderson entered into a valid sublease agreement with Houldson on October 20,
1991, that Grenfell was made aware of this sublease by Bice shortly after October 24, 1991, and by Anderson in
early-to-mid November prior to Houldson taking possession on December 1, 1991, and that due to Grenfell’s
lockout and attempts to take over Anderson’s sublease with Bice, Anderson was prevented from subleasing the
premises to Houldson. Accordingly, we again conclude that the District Court erred in its determinations. We
conclude that Anderson, contrary to the District Court’s conclusion, has presented credible evidence to support
his claim for lost profits. Whether Grenfell is in fact liable for damages under any of Anderson’s claims, as well
as whether he could have foreseen Anderson’s lost profits at the time their lease was made, are matters that
should be addressed upon remand.
