Building material supply store wins appeal battle over $1M in unpaid invoices

A build­ing ma­te­r­i­al sup­ply com­pa­ny has scored a sec­ond vic­to­ry in a le­gal bat­tle against a for­mer cus­tomer over al­most $1 mil­lion in ar­rears on goods it sup­plied over a decade ago.

In a ma­jor­i­ty de­ci­sion de­liv­ered last week, Ap­pel­late Judges Char­maine Pem­ber­ton and Maria Wil­son dis­missed an ap­peal brought by Mer­lin Lacroix and L's Gen­er­al Sup­ply Store against Build to Last Hard­ware and Roof Man­u­fac­tur­ing.

Act­ing Ap­pel­late Judge Car­ol Gob­in de­liv­ered a dis­sent­ing judg­ment in which she dis­agreed with her col­leagues and found that she would have up­held the ap­peal.
