1. “Emerick's denial of entry [on December 27, 1982,] to a building he had agreed to purchase has some color of right, since he had been allowed by the owner, Bu-chonok, to take possession without consummating the transfer of title. Therefore, denial of entry under color of right doesn't establish Emerick's intent to take Buchonok's tools on December 27. La ter, the negotiations between Buchonok and Emerick's attorneys established the right to possession to the building only. When Emerick left with Bucho-nok's tools, the tort was manifestly established without a doubt, but until December 30, no tort could be clearly established.”
