4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Harbison-Fischer notes that the MO-PAC/Custom Wire lease clearly provides that, as between MOPAC and Custom Wire, Custom Wire is responsible for remediation responsibilities arising during the course of the Custom Wire’s (sic) lease. Harbison-Fischer " further contends that it has a right to sue for enforcement of the MOPAC/Custom Wire lease because it is a third-party beneficiary of that lease. Harbison-Fischer claims that once Custom Wire delivered Harbison-Fischer a copy of the MOPAC/Custom Wire lease in exchange for Harbison-Fischer’s building plans, Harbison-Fischer became' a third-party beneficiary to the lease.”
