Balentine v. Reynolds Metals Company and Alcoa
Supreme Court of Alabama
Balentine v. Reynolds Metals Company and Alcoa, 875 So. 2d 291 (Ala. 2003)
2003 Ala. LEXIS 242; 2003 WL 22026383
Johnstone, Houston, Lyons, Brown, Harwood, Woodall, Stuart
Balentine v. Reynolds Metals Company and Alcoa
Opinion of the Court
The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the appellees Reynolds Metals Company and Alcoa, Inc., solely on the basis of the opinion by the Court of Civil Appeals in Weaver v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., 871 So.2d 814 (Ala.Civ.App. 2001). We reversed that decision in Ex parte Weaver, 871 So.2d 820 (Ala. 2003). Relying on Weaver (not Ex parte Weaver), the appellees now before us admit, and indeed insist, at pages ii and 42-51 of their brief, that βthe material facts of the decision in Weaver are indistinguishable from the facts of the present case.β We there
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
