Nunez v. Pinnacle Homes, LLC

The Supreme Court granted the defendants’ writ application in this case to determine whether the lower courts erred by imposing personal liability on the sole member and manager of a limited liability company (“L.L.C.”). The issue presented centered on the scope of the narrow professional duty exception to the general rule of limited liability for members, managers, employees, and agents of an L.L.C. set forth in La. Rev. Stat. 12:1320. After review, the Court found the plaintiff failed to show the defendant member of the L.L.C. owed her a professional duty outside the confines of the contract. Furthermore, the Court found the defendant was not personally liable to the plaintiff for his negligent or wrongful acts. The Court reversed the rulings of the lower courts. View "Nunez v.
