Court rules tanning beds in Rec Center can stay through 2010
After a two-year legal battle over the tanning beds at the Student Recreation Complex, a court decided The Spa, which is owned by Tan Time LLC, would be allowed to remain open through Dec. 31, 2010.
Although MU argued for the right to cancel their contract with Tan Time at the end of any lease year with 60 days written notice, the court chose to upheld the tanning services company's reading of the contract, which stated the contract couldn't be canceled until the end of the first renewal year in 2010.
The court denied Tan Time's claims for damages from MU, one for $32,000 for loss of profits during a temporary closure in August 2008 and another for $158,000 for the loss of money invested in the location at the recreation center.
