Supreme Court of Alabama
Willadean Walden and Crooked Creek Properties, Inc. v. Es Capital, LLC Richard Ensley and the George Ellis…
May 20, 201189 So. 3d 90
Summary
The court affirmed the Autauga Circuit Court’s injunction barring Walden and Crooked Creek from relitigating ownership and management issues concerning the apartments and from interfering with the existing mortgage and management arrangements. It held that the Autauga court had authority to issue the injunction, that the order satisfied the specificity and explanation requirements for injunctions, and that prior judgments foreclosed the claims being renewed. The court also granted mandamus, holding that Crooked Creek’s accounting and related equitable claims against Ensley were filed in the wrong county and had to be transferred to Autauga County.
