Wandering Trails v. Big Bite Excavation
Annotate this Case
Appellants-plaintiffs Wandering Trails, LLC and Liquid Realty, Inc. appealed the district court’s entry of summary judgment and denial of their veil-piercing claims against defendants Big Bite Excavation, Inc., Piper Ranch, LLC, and Tim and Julie Schelhorn in their individual capacity. Big Bite and Piper Ranch were both wholly owned by the Schelhorns. Wandering Trails was created for the purposes of obtaining and developing property. Wandering Trails entered into an agreement with Piper Ranch under which Piper Ranch agreed to pave the roadways for the development in exchange for a 25% interest in Wandering Trails. Piper Ranch did not do any work on the development. Wandering Trails and Liquid Realty brought suit and alleged an alter ego claim against Big Bite, Piper Ranch, and the Schelhorns. The district court granted summary judgment to Big Bite and the Schelhorns and refused the Plaintiffs’ veil-piercing claims. Wandering Trails and Liquid Realty appealed, and the Schelhorns cross-appealed. Finding no reversible error after careful consideration of the trial court record, the Supreme Court affirmed.
