Suit Settled Over Railroad Construction Lien Case

The case centers on McDonald, Shea & Co and William Kenefick seeking liens for work on a Tennessee road against the Charleston Cincinnati & Southern Central lines. The Supreme Court reviews if the railroad and construction entities are legally one and the implications for liens, with extensive prior rulings on insolvency, bond mortgage validity, and the amount due.

Court rules railroad and contractor legally one in financing case

The court finds the railroad and construction company are the same entity, with liens on the road for labor and materials. It adjusts several liens, credits, and subcontracts, and holds the railroad liable for acts by the contractor when they are not at arm's length. The decision limits the use of corporate separation to evade creditor claims.
