Bernals, Inc., and Maria E. Adan v. Kessler-Greystone, LLC.

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court held that Brentwood lacked standing as a third‑party beneficiary, so the trial court had no subject‑matter jurisdiction; consequently all judgments were void, the judgments were vacated, the case was dismissed, and the appeal was dismissed. Justice Cobb, in a partial concurrence and dissent, agreed with the dismissal of Adan’s appeal but disagreed with vacating the default judgment against her.
