White-Spunner Construction, Inc., and Hartford Fire Insurance Company v. Construction Completion Company, LLC, And…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the summary judgment that awarded Construction Completion Company (CCC) over $1.1 million because CCC’s claim depended on an illegal contract with unlicensed subcontractor Buena Vista, and it dismissed the related bond‑claim appeal. The Court also held that White‑Spunner and its surety Hartford have standing to challenge the illegal contract and that Buena Vista was required to be licensed under § 34‑8‑1.
