PRINCE, YEATES & GELDZAHLER

Mr. Adam S. Affleck, of Prince, Yeates & Geldzahler, argues on a motion for summary judgment. In this case, the crucial issue was a very important coma which was omitted in a very important legal filing. By way of random example, "LLC & M, L.L.C." and "LLC & M. L.L.C." are two distinct entities registered in Utah (see the coma?). The motion for summary judgment was granted.

If this LLC were the hypothetical entity in question, would it have mattered that those two names were registered by the same person, do not overlap in time, and the second appeared within a year of the first expiring?

Would it have been a lot of work for Mr. Tangaro to transfer his company's assets from the old to the new, or (as I suspect) did he just happen to change the name that he registered?

I probably over-simplified the issue for this post. There was actually only one company involved. The creditor misspelled the name in a way that was seriously misleading. The fact that a comma is seriously misleading stems from the State's Totally Awesome Computer system, which can't ignore comas.
