Posted by: Karen Belcher on Apr 15, 2022

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Linda J. Mathis, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Southern Steel & Concrete, Inc.

Attorneys 2: Adam M. Nahmias, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Southern Steel & Construction, LLC.

Attorneys 3: Joseph T. Getz, Elizabeth B. Stengel, and Charles W. Cavagnaro, Jr., Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Quality Iron Fabricators, Inc.

Judge(s): MCGEE

This appeal involves a payment dispute among several companies, including a construction company, a concrete company, and a fabricator company, that ultimately centered on a question of alter-ego status. The trial court found that the concrete company and the construction company were one and the same, and therefore were alter egos of each other. The trial court granted the concrete company enforcement of its lien and awarded it the funds that were deposited in the clerk’s office for the work performed on a building project. The trial court also denied the fabricator company’s cross-claim against the construction company for breach of contract for subcontracting work to the concrete company. The concrete company appeals. We affirm.
