big dust up at the england economic & industrial development district: sued for unlawful termination of access

from what we can gather from her petition, in 2007 tasha swanson the owner of sst1 llc landed a sub-contract with sundowner alexandria, llc., to clean airplanes out at england airpark.

over the years her business has grown and she has been awarded more sub-contracts to clean airplanes such as with the united states marshals service, ice, csi aviation services and ryan international airlines.

as a result of the success of her company, in early april 2012 she sent an employee over to the england economic & industrial development districts' office "in order to meet with david h. broussard, jr., the airpark development manager to inquire about leasing space for it's equipment to perform the sub-contract but instead met with the defendant's executive director, jon w. grafton."

somehow or anther on that same day ms. swanson's employee received a telephone conference call from jon w. grafton, scott gammel and david h. broussard, jr., "who jointly advised that 'since we have an fbo who can provide these services we will not lease you property and at this time you need to cease and desist any cleaning as sst1'"

so ms. swanson filed for and after having had to put up a $10,000.00 cash bond was granted a temporary restraining order.

ms. swanson's cause is set for hearing before ninth judicial district court judge george c. metoyer, jr., at 9:30 am on 21 may 2012.

the filing attorney is alexandria, la., attorney kelvin g. sanders, esq. and the attorney for the england economic & development district is albin a. provosty, esq., of alexandria's provosty law firm.

third circuit grants plaintiff's attorney a do over in alexandria hotel damages claim

whether this opinion which was released moments ago by the third circuit is a good one or not probably depends on if you're suing or being sued.

this petition was originally filed on 23 june 2008 and one aspect of the case that the third circuit should have addressed but didnt is that attorney's prior to filing suit should do a better job in their due diligence.

on the other hand, this opinion should help business owners to understand that no matter how you structure or appear to structure the ownership of your properties, that when the plaintiff's attorney finally figures out who the responsible party to sue is, that you're likely not going to be able to argue that their time to file suit ran out (prescription).

lawyers money shot:

the jurisprudence is consistent that prescriptive statutes are to be strictly construed in favor of maintaining rather than barring actions. ~ .pdf page seven

mother's day

10 Who can finde a vertuous woman? for her price is farre aboue Rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doeth safely trust in her, so that he shall haue no need of spoile.

12 She will doe him good, and not euill, all the dayes of her life.

13 She seeketh wooll and flaxe, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants ships, she bringeth her food from afarre.

15 Shee riseth also while it is yet night, and giueth meate to her household, and a portion to her maydens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her handes she planteth a Uineyard.

17 She girdeth her loynes with strength, and strengtheneth her armes.

18 She perceiueth that her merchandise is good; her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her handes to the spindle, and her handes hold the distaffe.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poore, yea she reacheth foorth her handes to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her houshold: for all her houshold are cloathed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herselfe couerings of tapestrie; her cloathing is silke and purple.

23 Her husband is knowen in the gates, when he sitteth among the Elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linnen, and selleth it, and deliuereth girdles vnto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her cloathing; and she shall reioyce in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisedome; and in her tongue is the law of kindnesse.

27 She looketh well to the wayes of her housholde, and eateth not the bread of idlenesse.

28 Her children arise vp, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters haue done vertuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Fauour is deceitfull, and beautie is vaine: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shalbe praised.

31 Giue her of the fruit of her hands, and let her owne workes praise her in the gates.

third circuit ok's liquidation of cat island club llc

although they won their appeal in which the third circuit affirmed a summary judgement that they were granted by ninth judicial district court judge harry randow, a reading of that opinion (.pdf from page 101 or third circuit here) could possibly lead one to conclude that ty-bar industries, inc., dean tyler / william c. barron, arent really the type of people that one would want to get in "bidness" with.

something else that comes to mind, is that these La. R.S. 12:1302 et seq., limited liability companies seem to be generally a bit dodgy.
