Montana Supreme Court

D.A. Davidson v. Slaybaugh

November 12, 2024418 Mont. 531

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment dismissing Slaybaugh's cross claims because he lacked standing to challenge Grand Lodge's revocation of Whitefish Lodge's charter and transfer of its assets. Whitefish Lodge was no longer a party or existing lodge, Slaybaugh did not plead or preserve a derivative action, his prior account authority had been withdrawn, and the governing Code did not give him an individual property or membership right supporting his claims.
