The plaintiff, a developer of solar energy projects, had signed an exclusive option agreement to lease a 15-acre parcel of land that is part of a 157-acre property (whole property) owned by the defendant owner (owner). The owner subsequently leased the whole property to a competitor (“A”) of plaintiff. The owner also issued an “estoppel” document, which stated that “A’s” lease had priority over the plaintiff’s option (estoppel document).
