Old friend sold produce to a restaurant over many years. Good customer and
good pay until early summer when it had quadrupled to midteen thousands a
fire destroyed premises and produce etcetera. Landlord and tenant carried
insurance as did ten other occupants of the building. Friend sues customer
for goods sold and delivered. Ten tenants and landlord point fingers at
each as cause of and responsibility and sue the collective insurance
companies until someone is found to be responsible. Owner of customer is clearly not personally responsible for fire and
restaurant is incorporated. Only likely asset from which to recover debt
plus costs etc, is proceeds of large litigation involving all insurers (and
tenants) in suit brought by owner of restaurant for damages. Case drags on
and settlement or trial and recovery should amply cover old friend and is
imminent. Unprotected by any form of security I suggest that a complaint to
intervene as a plaintiff in the large litigation to the extent of damages
for debt as a chose in action and attach such asset to the amount of debt
plus etc.
