Maple Court Seattle Condominium Association v. Roosevelt, LLC (Washington Court of Appeals, Division 1, 2007)

Jun 18, 2007

OUTCOME: Summary judgment dismissal affirmed on appeal

The issue in this case was whether an administratively dissolved and cancelled limited liability company (â€œLLCâ€) has standing to prosecute claims. Court of Appeals affirmed trial court dismissal on ... summary judgment. Specifically, Court of Appeals ruled (1) that administratively dissolved and cancelled LLCs are no longer legal entities and have no standing to prosecute a claim; and (2) money paid by a general contractor in settlement with a dissolved and cancelled LLC developer may not serve as the basis of the general contractorâ€™s indemnity claim against its subcontractors.
