How do I prove a conspiracy in a breach of contract?

Question Details: A friend signed a year lease on a bakery. Without warning, the lease was terminated about 6 months later. Within 24 hours, a new operator was in the bakery, complete with the name of the new bakery. This could not happen within 24 hours. What must I do to prove the owner and new operator of the bakery had this planned in advance and what must be done to prove that the 2 planned this breach. Where can I research this on line and what statutes must I look under. This is in Michigan.

A lease cannot be terminated in 24 hours under the circumstances you have indicated.  There is a notice of at least 7 days if there is back rent owed.  If back rent is not owed, there is a 30 day notice if the lease is a month to month situation.  Then a lawsuit must be filed after the notice period.  Then the Court will give no less than 10 days to vacate after the hearing on the lawsuit.  I think there is more to the story that you must provide to obtain accurate advise.  Please contact me to discuss in more detail.  586-868-5100.  John R.
