The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Alabama, Inc. v. Fairhope-Point Clear Rotary Youth Programs, Inc., and Ruff Wilson…

Summary

The court held that the entities operating the Fairhope and Daphne youth facilities lacked standing under the Alabama Nonprofit Corporation Act to challenge the disposition of property-sale proceeds by the nonprofit Club. Because the plaintiffs lacked standing, the trial court never acquired subject-matter jurisdiction, making its judgment void. The court therefore vacated the judgment and dismissed both the underlying case and the appeal.
