Lessor's Lawsuit Against Lessee for Breach of Mineral Lease Dismissed as Premature

摘要

The Louisiana Second Circuit affirmed a district court's ruling granting a lessee's exception of prematurity and dismissing the lessor's lawsuit. The lessor sued its lessee, Fite Oil & Gas, Inc. (Fite), for dissolution of mineral leases, asserting that Fite had breached various provisions of leases restricting access to a particular road, requiring fencing around wells, and maintaining a bridge in reasonable condition.
