The defendant, Bukk G. Carleton (Carleton), appeals from the trial court’s order regarding the lease Carleton holds with the plaintiff, Woodstock Soapstone Co., Inc. (Woodstock). Carleton argues that the court erred in (1) its interpretation of a tax escalator clause contained in the lease; (2) enjoining him from pursuing a possessory action in district court; and (3) denying his motion to dismiss Woodstock’s petition for failure to join a necessary party. We find no error and affirm the trial court’s rulings on these issues. Woodstock cross-appeals from the court’s decision that the assignment of the purchase option to plaintiff was invalid and from the denial of a request for attorney’s fees. We reverse the decision regarding the purchase option, and affirm the denial of attorney’s fees.
