Yarbrough v. Ledford

On September 15, 1998, Harold Yarbrough and four other similarly situated plaintiffs sued Alabama Earth Products, Inc. ("AEP"), and Robert Ledford, individually, alleging that the defendants had negligently, recklessly, and/or wantonly deposited waste on the plaintiffs' property, causing irreparable damage to the property. Yarbrough sued on claims of trespass and private and public nuisance. Ledford moved to dismiss, or, in the alternative, for a summary judgment, arguing that he had had no personal involvement in the alleged conduct and that he had acted as an employee of the corporation.
