Rector v. Alliance Coal

Bailey Glasser represented a group of heirs and successors to a partnership that proved up a 200-million ton coal-reserve and assigned it to Alliance’s predecessors in a 1977 contract in exchange for royalties. After a two-week bench trial, our client was awarded nearly $3.9 million in unpaid royalties, plus an order of specific performance to pay future royalties. Verdict affirmed on appeal and judgment for $6.5 million entered.
