Edward M. O'Brien (Partner-Louisville, KY) and Andrew-John Bokeno (Associate-Louisville, KY) recently wrapped up a commercial roofing case heavily litigated for 10 years. The plaintiff, a used car dealership, sued our roofing system manufacturer client, alleging that a new roofing system installed on a building formerly occupied by the plaintiff failed, causing substantial property damage. The plaintiff had demanded $750,000 in damages. Ten days before a scheduled jury trial, the trial court granted Eddie and AJ’s motion for summary judgment, finding that the plaintiff was not the real party in interest because it did not own the building at issue and the plaintiff had failed to show that it suffered any compensable damages. The trial court's decision was unanimously affirmed by the Indiana Court of Appeals. Thereafter, the Indiana Supreme Court unanimously denied the plaintiff's petition to review the case, effectively affirming the trial court's judgment.
