The suit states, "This is a minority stockholder oppression action whereby Plaintiff seeks to: (a) recover the fair value of his shares in All-Trade Construction Co. Inc., a closely held Pennsylvania corporation; or (b) in the alternative, cause the involuntarily dissolution of All-Trade."
The suit states Seifert and Haydt each own a 43.75 percent of the stock of All-Trade and Quinn has 12.5 percent of the stock in All-Trade.
The suit states All-Trade is a construction company founded in 1992 and focuses on steel erection, plant maintenance, crane rentals and equipment transport.
In summary, the plaintiff alleges that defendants Haydt and Quinn have "combined forces to unlawfully usurp complete control of All-Trade's affairs for their pecuniary benefit and to Plaintiff's exclusion."

Details of those allegations are contained in the suit. Alleged further is breach of fiduciary duty against both defendants.
The plaintiff seeks a judgment against the defendants in an "amount to be determined at trial representing the full market value of his interest in All-Trade Construction Co. Inc., and in excess of the compulsory arbitration limits; or in the alternative, that All-Trade Construction Co. Inc. be involuntarily dissolved, together with such additional relief as the Court deems justified by the circumstances."
