Chesapeake Road court ruling orders retrial in McKell case
In Cincinnati Ohio December 2 the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad won a court fight as the US Court of Appeals ordered the case back to the district court for retrial. Heirs of Thomas McKell of Chillicothe Ohio sued the railroad for $800000 alleging the railroad after agreeing to haul McKell's coal from mines in West Virginia entered the coal mining business and used its local facilities to haul coal for itself. The ruling remanded because the damage award appeared speculative with no definite basis for valuing $300000.
