Kistler v. Stoddard
Court of Appeals of Arkansas (1985) | 15 Ark. App. 8; 688 S.W.2d 746; 1985 Ark. App. LEXIS 1925
TL;DR: A tenant planted a crop knowing his lease would expire before harvest. A new landowner who purchased the property and harvested the crop was required to reimburse the tenant's planting costs under the equitable doctrine of unjust enrichment.
Legal Significance: Establishes that the equitable doctrine of unjust enrichment can provide a remedy for a former tenant's expenses, even when common law property rules grant ownership of an unharvested crop (emblement) to the new landowner.
