Description

SHORES, JUSTICE. This is a contract dispute involving Alabama's "forum-closing" provisions, Alabama Code 1975, § 10-2A-247, and Art XII, § 232, Ala. Const. 1901, which bar foreign corporations from enforcing their contracts when they are not qualified to do business in Alabama. Building Maintenance Personnel, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, d/b/a BMPS, Inc., sued International Shipbuilding, Inc. ("International"), an Alabama corporation located in Mobile County, to enforce a contract between them. The trial court entered a partial summary judgment for International on the grounds that under § 10-2A-247 and Art. XII, § 232, Ala. Const. 1901, the contract was void because, when the contract was made, BMPS had not obtained a certificate of authority to transact business in Alabama. The partial summary judgment was made final under Rule 54(b), A. R. Civ. P. BMPS appeals. We affirm.
