Carnell Construction Corporation v. Danville Redevelopment and Housing Authority

Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied!

  Have you ever been wronged or suffered a financial loss because of the unjustified actions of a govermental agency?

  If so, would expect to get your day in court to the attention of a jury of your peers? Would you expect to be able to tell the jury about all of the damages that you have incurred ? Further, would you expect that if the jury of your peers finds in your favor you win? You recover? You get paid?

  This expectation related to "winning" is ingrained in our system of justice. Right? No!

  What if you go to court three times and never lose your case, and on two occasions, a jury of your peers finds in your favor, only to have the court change the jury verdicts?

  How many times would you expect to have to go to court in order to be made whole for the damages that you have incurred ? One time? Two times? Three times? Four times?

  Carnell Construction Corporation and its owners had three trials in federal court and have never lost its case. The company was wrongfully treated on a project that had U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Virginia Housing Development Authority financing and tax credits. One jury called it “racial discrimination”. Another jury called it “breach of contract without just cause”. No matter what they call it, Carnell Construction Corporation, was wrongfully and unlawfully treated.

  The company and its employees were the subject of racial slurs and epithets several times before and after the firm complained about having to perform in a hostile work environment. The housing authority project manager vowed to “dust” Carnell Construction Corporation.  That’s exactly what  they did!

  Over five years have passed, the firm and its owners are “dusted,” they have not been made whole, and the legal struggle for justice continues.
