Dean Leader and William Durall v. Crescencio Pablo, as the dependent spouse of Catalina Estillado (a/k/a Eva Saenz)…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed Dean Leader's appeal because his judgment had been discharged in bankruptcy and the appeal was therefore abandoned. As to William Durall, the Court held that the evidence did not establish that he willfully and intentionally removed a manufacturer-provided safety device, either by failing to reconnect an interlock that the available documentation did not identify or by instructing employees to bypass the gate. The Court reversed and remanded the judgment against Durall, while pretermitting the remaining elements of the statutory claim.
