United States v. Clinical Leasing Serv., Inc.

982 F.2d 900 (5th Cir. 1992)

Facts

Soll and Brinkley (D) were sued by the Government to hold them personally liable for fines imposed against Clinical Leasing Services, Inc. The jury found them liable on the grounds that Clinical was the alter ego of Ds and that Clinical was used to frustrate legislative purpose. Ds appealed claiming that they were denied a fair trial in that the district court terminated Soll’s direct examination because of leading questions.
