Description
In a declaratory judgment action tried to the court without a jury upon a stipulation of facts and submitted exhibits, the court declared that the defendant newspaper publisher, The Kansas City Star Company, had the right and the power to terminate its contracts with the plaintiffs, independent subscription carriers of the companys newspapers. The court further declared that the company by its conduct over the years had created an expectation that the carriers who had purchased their routes would have a reasonable time in which to recoup their investments before the company could exercise its right to cancel a carriers contract. The carriers claim that they have a property interest in their subscription routes, that their contracts are terminable only for cause and that they are not the companys agents but independent contractors. Relying upon an express termination clause in its contracts, the company contends that it has the power and right to terminate the carriers contracts. The carriers appeal. We reverse.
