Court Ruling — E.D. Mich, 2025 #10707746

**Court Stops Company from Selling Vessel Already Sold to Workers** This case involved workers who purchased a vessel from Zalnatrav, Inc. but never received it, even though they had paid for it. The workers discovered that the company was trying to sell or get rid of the same vessel they had already bought. The workers sued the company, claiming fraud, breach of contract, and other violations, and asked the court to immediately stop Zalnatrav from disposing of their vessel. The court sided with the workers and issued a preliminary injunction. This legal order prevents Zalnatrav from selling, transferring, or disposing of the vessel until the full case is resolved. The judge found that the workers had strong legal claims and would suffer irreparable harm if the company was allowed to sell their vessel to someone else or destroy it. **What This Means for Workers:** This ruling shows that courts will act quickly to protect workers when employers try to dispose of property that workers have legitimately purchased. If you've paid for something from your employer but haven't received it, and they're trying to sell it to others, you may have legal options to stop them and recover your property.
