The legal issues presented in this case will be displayed here.

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Walker on behalf of Music City and Sawmill (D) purchased a wheel loader. When Walker purchased the unit, Music City was not a corporation. This fact was unknown to Walker and also to Thompson (P) the seller. The actual date of incorporation of D was one day after the sale of the unit. Pursuant to the sale, Walker signed a promissory note in the amount of $37,886.30 on behalf of D to P. D was unable to make payments and returned the unit 8 months later. P then sold the unit for $15,303.83 and applied the proceeds to the note leaving a balance of $17,925.81. P sued to recover the balance due and learned about the fact that D was not a corporation on the day of the contract. P then sued Walker individually under state codes (see middle of page 245 Choper 5th).
