Hinton v. Rolison
Annotate this CaseClayton Hinton invested substantial personal resources into a used-car business. Hinton sued his business partner, Nate Rolison, claiming that Rolison was keeping profits from that business that should have been divided equally. Hinton also sought an injunction against the financing company that was paying Rolison some of the disputed profits. Both Rolison and the financing company filed motions to dismiss. The trial court granted Rolison's motion based on res judicata and granted the finance company's motion finding Hinton had failed to state a viable claim. Finding that res judicata did not bar Hinton's claims against Rolison, and that Hinton failed to state a viable claim for injunctive relief against the financing company, the Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
