Judge rules in property dispute involving Friendship Fire
In a case brought to court by Oconee’s Friendship Volunteer Fire Department, a judge has issued an order. The 10th circuit’s master-in-equity, Steven Kirven, ruled this month in a dispute over the rightful owner of 1.73 acres across from the fire station. Kirven ruled invalid a purported contract between defendants Chris Christian and R&M Investments of Oconee. Kirven directed Christian to pay R&M $4 thousand dollars, money that it previously paid to Christian. He further required R&M to remove mobile homes and all other personal property from the 1.73 acres within 30 days.
