Supreme Court of Alabama

Yadira Ordonez v. Capitol Farmers Market, Inc…

April 25, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the trial court’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by denying the plaintiff’s motion for a continuance to depose the defendant’s owner under Rule 56(f), and remanded for further proceedings because genuine issues of material fact exist regarding the defendant’s ownership and control of the grocery store.
