Description

Navajo Refining Company and Navajo Pipeline Company (plaintiffs) sued Southern Union Refining Company and Midland-Lea, Inc. (defendants) for sums alleged to be due and owing under the provisions of contracts and agreements entered into by the parties. Plaintiffs original complaint contained seven counts. Defendants counterclaimed. Defendants first amended counterclaim contained eight counts. The claims and counterclaims are interrelated. The trial court granted partial summary judgment on two of the counts raised by the complaint in favor of plaintiffs and, finding that there was no just reason for delay, made the partial summary judgment a final judgment. After partial summary judgment was entered, a second amended counterclaim and an amended complaint were filed. Defendants appealed from the partial summary judgment and determination of finality; we hold that the trial court abused its discretion in entering final judgment.
