Tomlinson Law Office, P.C. Announces Reversal of Multi-Million Dollar Judgment
In 2011, Summit Forest Products Company, a wood supplier, sued children's furniture manufacturer Child Craft LLC after alleging that the company had not paid for wood shipments dating as far back as 2008. Prior to the lawsuit, Child Craft made a decision to cease operations, claiming that Summit had supplied them with subpar wood that affected their business practices and contributed to the company's demise. Upon learning of Summit's accusations, Child Craft filed counterclaims, including one for negligent misrepresentation against Summit and its owner Ronald Bienias. Child Craft alleged that misstatements were made to it regarding the wood products and whether they would conform to Child Craft's specifications.
