[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 340693, member: 495"] In the miniseries, it was established that Jock and Digger were business partners. They discovered oil, and Jock registered the claim in his name only, in order to prevent Digger from gambling away his half of the business. Digger misunderstood Jock’s intentions and went after him with a gun. Jock, enraged, decided to keep the whole business for himself. From a legal standpoint, Jock had no right to decide himself to cut Digger out of the business. If Cliff had written documentation of their partnership, he could have brought the case to court. That could have been a compelling storyline in itself. The show was careful to have us root for the Ewings, but in reality, the Barnes family had some claim to the business. Where I live, there was a case about two different branches of a family fighting over a supermarket chain. The judge ruled branch 1 had cheated branch 2 out of their portion of the business, and awarded them controlling interest (51%). You could see something similar happen with Ewing Oil. [/QUOTE]
