Parsons Steel, Inc. v. Beasley

This is an appeal from a summary judgment in favor of the defendants in an action in which the plaintiffs, former legal clients of the defendants, originally alleged fraud, breach of contract, and professional malpractice. This Court, in Parsons Steel, Inc. v. Beasley, 522 So.2d 253 (Ala.1988), affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the fraud count as barred by the applicable statute of limitations, but declined to consider the trial court’s denial of the parties’ motions for summary judgment on the other two counts, treating that denial as a nonappealable ruling. Id., at 257.
