Iowa AG to sue Pullman Co for 74015 filing fee penalties
Des Moines Iowa attorney general Byers says this week he will sue the Pullman Company for a 74015 total claim arising from failure to file articles of incorporation. The case estimates $70000000 capital stock with a 12000 filing fee and $15 recording cost. If the company has done business since formation without filing, a daily 100 penalty could total millions over decades. Courts have not yet settled if such penalties are recoverable. The AG has already sued other large corporations in similar actions.
