  • Release Date: 1979-04-03
  • Genre: Law

Description

The salient material facts are that Tiffany was awarded a contract to resurface three portions of public highway in northeastern Arizona. The resurfacing operation consisted in part of the application, with an asphalt sealer, of a rock material known as "Type C chips." Tiffany then entered into an agreement with Ray Hatch d/b/a Hatch Sand & Gravel for the latter to provide and deliver to the job sites the required Type C chips. Hatch in turn entered into an agreement with the appellant B. J. Cecil Trucking, Inc. by which Cecil provided trucks and drivers to Hatch on a rental basis, at a combined rate of $25.65 per hour, to deliver the Type C chips from Hatchs gravel pit to the job sites. Tiffany paid Hatch for the chips but Hatch did not pay Cecil for its services, which amounted to an alleged $17,422.08.
