We just concluded a two week jury trial in which we received a $450,000 verdict in favor of an apparel representative, selling private lable programs to several major accounts in the Midwest valued at nearly $20 Million. Not only did the jury find that our client was owed over $200,000 in commissions, the Court awarded the client $175,000 in statutory penalties for non-payment of commissions and $80,000 in attorneys’ fees. Even more importantly, the jury pierced the corporate veil of the Defendant companies, and mandated that the individual owners were responsible for the entire amount of the verdict. We hope that this verdict will provide us with another tool in collecting unpaid commissions for sales people who create substantial markets and open huge accounts for their vendors.
