Hammond Brick Receivership Upheld By Supreme Court Ruling
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals refused to review a Marion County decision sustaining the receivership of Hammond Brick Co. and overruled bids against the firm by Bolvex Fuel Co. The ruling upheld lower court findings that two of three claims were valid, including a $13,000 note deed of trust, with disputes over rental fees and a salary claim rejected. The case centered on allegations of mismanagement and stock transfer arrangements involving Alice Brett and former executive Lee Ford.
