Supreme Court of Alabama
Sycamore Management Group, LLC, and Direcpath, LLC v. Coosa Cable Company, Inc.
January 22, 20102010 Ala. LEXIS 8
Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the trial court’s permanent injunction against Sycamore and DirecPath, holding that Coosa Cable lacked any contractual, statutory, or easement right to remain on the property and that the cable wiring was a fixture belonging to the property owner, not a trade fixture; the Court also noted that the standard of review for permanent injunctions is not uniformly de novo. Justice Murdock’s concurring opinion agreed with the result but cautioned that the de novo rule is not absolute.
