Mark Steven Meadows v. Sharon Kay Story

Syllabus

The members of a limited liability company, a father and his son, sought the LLC's judicial dissolution. Disagreements had surfaced between them, primarily over the ownership of assets and the value of their capital accounts. Father and son were also pitted against each other in a separate lawsuit involving other business entities. In the proceeding to dissolve the LLC, the trial court appointed a receiver to determine ownership of the assets. The court approved the receiver's report. And, after a bench trial, the court found that father's capital account was less than his son's account. In doing so, the court excluded evidence offered by father related to the separate lawsuit based on relevancy. The court also excluded the testimony of an attorney based on the attorney-client privilege. Finding no reversable error, we affirm.
