Fleetwood Trucking Company, Inc. v. Cahaba Resources, LLC, and Crawford Enterprises, LLC; Cahaba Resources, LLC V…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court’s dismissal of Fleetwood Trucking’s indemnity claim, without issuing a written opinion. Chief Justice Moore filed a concurring specially opinion, arguing that the claim was premature rather than lacking subject‑matter jurisdiction. The Court’s affirmation leaves the lower court’s dismissal in place. The concurrence notes that if the Eleventh Circuit reverses the Department of Labor’s ruling, the indemnity claim could become viable.
