Uni-Com Northwest V. Argus Publishing Co‪.‬

This litigation resulted from the sale by Advertising Distributor Services, Inc. (ADS) to Argus Publishing Company of all the common stock in and right to operate TMC Publications, Inc. The successor in interest of ADS, Uni-Com Northwest Ltd. (Uni-Com), appeals and Murray Publishing Company (MPC) cross-appeals from a judgment in favor of Uni-Com for $144,406.40. Uni-Com contends MPC is liable for the unpaid purchase price of TMC Publications, Inc., as a successor corporation of Argus Publishing Company. Uni-Com also contends John Murray, MPC and the MPC pension trust are liable under agency and corporate disregard theories. MPC contends its take-over of Argus Publishing Company's accounts receivable was not a preference, and a receiver should have been appointed to resolve the conflicting claims between MPC and Uni-Com. We reverse the trial court insofar as it granted judgment to Uni-Com against MPC and affirm in all other respects.
