Farmer William Weber sued the North Loup Irrigation District for breach of contract because North Loup failed to deliver water to his farm during the 2010 season as a result of the destruction of a diversion dam caused by catastrophic flooding in June 2010. The contract between the parties stated that irrigation charges must be paid by December of the year preceding the irrigation season. At the time of the flood Weber had not yet paid his 2010 irrigation charges; and he paid the 2010 charge under protest on April 13, 2011. Weber explained, "I've never wrote a check for $10,000 in my life that I didn't get something for." Did North Loup breach its contractual duties to Weber? Was payment by December 2009 a condition precedent to North Loup's duty to deliver water? Decide. [Weber v. North Loup River Power and Irrigation District, 854 N.W.2d 263 (Neb.)]
