Court Corrects References to Limited Liability Corporation

Court Corrects References to Limited Liability Corporation

In the Business Law Prof Blog, Professor Joshua Fershee (who is, by the way, transitioning from a professorship at West Virginia Law to the Dean of Creighton University Law) has reviewed a decision from Tennessee in which the court (if not the parties) paid attention to the nomenclature of LLCs. In this case, Fernando Campspl v. Gore Capital, LLC,  3:17-CV-1039, 2019 WL 2763902 (M.D. Tenn. July 2, 2019), the plaintiff filed a complaint alleging that a particular defendant organized in Delaware was a limited liability corporation. In a footnote, the court noted that in fact the entity was a “limited liability company.” (emphasis added).
