How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- focusing on fact that two companies “operated from the same manufacturing plant,” not on whether they both owned the premises
- noting that two companies “sold virtually identical [ ] products”
- noting that two companies \sold virtually identical [] products\
- finding evidence of a \mere continuation\ through the same principal officer in both entities, selling identical products, and operating from the same manufacturing plant as the selling company
- plaintiff’s tax deduction for money owed to it by defendant was irrelevant to defendant’s abuse of process counterclaim because deduction did not bar plaintiff from seeking to recover debt
- clearly noting that the facts and circumstances of the case should be considered as a whole, and, therefore, suggesting that all of the factors need not be met to sustain a claim under the \mere continuation\ theory
