By Lori Kersey A Kanawha County circuit judge on Tuesday granted a motion dismissing an Irish building materials company from an anti-trust lawsuit filed by the state of West Virginia against it and its subsidiaries, West Virginia Paving and other asphalt companies. Judge Tod Kaufman ruled that Dublin-based CRH is dismissed from the lawsuit, which alleges the companies have worked together to push out competition and inflate prices. The lawsuit, filed by the state of West Virginia, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, Transportation commissioner Paul Mattox, and the state Department of Transportation, named as defendants CRH, Oldcastle Inc., Oldcastle Materials, among other companies. The defendants in the case, represented by attorney Booth Goodwin of Goodwin and Goodwin, successfully argued that the court does not have jurisdiction over Dublin-based CRH, a parent company to West Virginia Paving. Goodwin argued that in order for the court to have jurisdiction over a parent company, the company must consider 11 factors, including whether the parent company owns all or most of the capital stock of the subsidiary, whether the parent and subsidiary corporation have common directors and officers and whether the parent corporation finances the subsidiary. Goodwin argued that in the case of the three companies, the court does not have jurisdiction. Attorney J.
