OUTCOME: Judgment vacated
I represented Defendant. The NC Court of Appeals ruled that Defendant, an owner of a company, did have a substantial right affected when the trial court exerted significant control over the company's ... assets, operations, and management structure in order to effectuate a business plan while the company was not a party to the present action, and thus Defendant's interlocutory appeal could be heard. The trial court ordered Defendant to transfer company assets and effectively ordered the company to act by ordering the parties to appoint an interim controlling manager, but because the company was not made a party to the present action, the trial court did not have the authority to exercise control over the company, and the order was vacated.
OUTCOME: Affirmed
