Supreme Court of Alabama

Alan E. Rothfeder v. Kaufman Gilpin McKenzie Thomas Weiss, P.c.; Jo Karen Parr v. Kaufman Gilpin McKenzie Thomas…

January 14, 20112011 Ala. LEXIS 15

Summary

The court held that the trial court's judgment was internally inconsistent because it declared the interpleaded funds to be the firm's property while simultaneously awarding portions of those funds to the individual defendants. Because the inconsistencies prevented effective appellate review and the record did not explain the amounts awarded, the court reversed and remanded all appeals and cross-appeals. No separate opinions were filed.
