A consulting company performed services for the county Council of Governments but not all of its invoices were paid, and filed suit to recover the funds owed. The client sought to join its own former administrator to the matter, alleging it was not liable for the officer’s misconduct and the consultants were responsible for not pursuing the matter more diligently. Plaintiff’s motion for judgment against its original client was granted, the client’s case against its officer was to remain viable.
