On appeal, Carleton first asserts that the court erred in interpreting the lease provision to mean that the 1985-86 base tax year was applicable to the land but not to the building. He argues that (1) the court improperly reformed the contract, (2) the court’s interpretation does not reflect the intent of either party, and (3) the court failed to consider a general property reassessment which is reflected in the 1986-87 tax payment. Carleton asserts that the superior court lacked preemptive equity jurisdiction to enjoin the landlord and tenant action in the district court. Carleton also claims that the superior court erred in failing to join Life Sciences as a necessary party to the litigation.
