Supreme Court of Alabama

Alabama River Group, Inc., and George Landegger v. Conecuh Timber, Inc.

September 29, 2017261 So. 3d 226

Summary

The opinion, in the portion provided, rejects the ARG defendants' challenges to liability based on the sufficiency of the misrepresentation evidence, Landegger's individual participation, the submission of alternative contract theories, the denial of a continuance, and several evidentiary rulings. It also concludes that the evidence supported the compensatory-damages award and that the punitive-damages claim was properly submitted because a jury could find fraud by clear and convincing evidence. The opinion text is truncated before the final disposition and before completion of the punitive-damages analysis.
