REPRESENTATIONS

• On April 3, 2026, the Honorable Madeline Connolly of the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis entered a Judgment in favor of Capes Sokol client RIMCO, Inc. in a lawsuit brought by its competitor, PSC Metals, LLC, d/b/a SA Recycling. SA Recycling alleged that RIMCO had breached a Scrap Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), and sought over $7.7 million in damages. RIMCO counterclaimed, alleging that the SPA had been breached by SA Recycling in the first place. After a two-day bench trial and multiple rounds of post-trial briefing, the Court found that SA Recycling had materially breached the SPA first, entered judgment in RIMCO’s favor on SA Recycling’s claim and RIMCO’s counterclaim, and awarded RIMCO nearly $89,000 in damages. The Court later awarded RIMCO costs of more than $13,000. RIMCO was represented by David Luce, Stephen Hoeplinger, and Andrew Gilkerson.
