Supreme Court of Alabama
Universal Development Corporation v. Robbie Dellinger (Appeal from Jefferson Circuit Court: CV-20-903743).
September 20, 2024
Summary
The court dismissed Hatti's two appeals and dismissed the Hatti Group as a party because the appealed judgments either were not adverse to them or were appealed untimely. It held that the trial court should have entered judgment as a matter of law for Universal because Dellinger's claim depended on an unenforceable agreement arising from his unlicensed performance of general-contractor work. The court also held that the trial court's later addition of agreed prejudgment interest corrected a clerical omission and did not restart the appeal period.
