Supreme Court of Alabama

Natures Way Marine, LLC v. Dunhill Entities, Lp

November 19, 20102010 Ala. LEXIS 216

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed Natures Way Marine’s appeal, holding that the trial court improperly certified a partial summary judgment as final under Rule 54(b). The Court found the intertwined breach‑of‑contract claims rendered the certification inappropriate, so the appeal was dismissed as non‑final. The decision rests on established Alabama law governing final judgments and Rule 54(b) certifications.
