Description
PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge In this diversity action, Fullerton Aircraft Sales and Rentals, Inc. (Fullerton) sued Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) and a finance company, Beech Acceptance Corporation (BACI), to recover damages for breach of express and implied warranties respecting an aircraft manufactured by Beech that was purchased by Fullerton from a Beechcraft dealer under a conditional sales contract financed by BACI. The district court granted summary judgment to Beech and BACI on the alternative grounds of collateral estoppel growing out of an earlier action by Fullerton against the dealer and lack of contractual privity between Beech and Fullerton. Not addressed by the district court was a further defense of the bar of the compulsory counterclaim rule growing out of a pending action in a United States District Court in Kansas. Because we conclude that the district court erred both in its collateral estoppel and lack of privity rulings, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
