In Re: Dravo LLC-Derivative Claims Against Carmeuse Lime, Inc. and Certain Affiliated Entities
Pa. Nos. 33 WAP 2024, 34 WAP 2024
Apr. 4, 2025Brief of Amici Curiae Pennsylvania Association for Justice and American Association for Justice as Amici Curiae in Support of Appellees
Issues: (1) Was it an error of law to find that tort claims based on the alleged conduct of a lawfully dissolved LLC, which are expressly barred by Pennsylvania's LLC dissolution statute, can be revived and asserted against the LLC 's parent through piercing the LLC's corporate veil?
(2) Was it an error of law to find that the "promote injustice" element of Pennsylvania's veil-piercing standard can be met when a lawfully dissolved subsidiary is left without sufficient assets to address its purported "foreseeable asbestos liabilities," which are barred as a result of subsidiary's lawful dissolution?
