Santa Fe litigation limits damages against non corporation
Railroad news notes a test case in Lyon County where Judge Foster rules the Oilmapaus is not a corporation, barring damages against it. The case questions whether interest damages and recovery extend to divested assets, with appeals looming to the Supreme Court to determine if interest can be recovered and if railroad liability can be pursued after corporate status is denied.
