Overview The lawsuit between Solo Cup Company (“Solo”) and Trigen-Cinergy Solutions (“Trigen”) arose out of an Energy Services Agreement and Equipment Lease that Solo entered into with Trigen to construct an 11.2-megawatt electricity co-generation plant at the Owings Mills facility. Solo was under the impression that by entering into this agreement, they would save at least $820,000 in energy costs annually, which was to be prepaid by Trigen and eventually paid back by Solo over 20 years. After Solo did analyses on the project, they discovered they would actually be losing money in the first year of the contract, and took action to sever the contract. Arbitration then took place to award damages to the rightful party. After extensive review of the relevant facts in this dispute, it has come to my attention that the loss contingency is incorrectly booked for Solo Cup Company.

The biggest issue here was allowing for a CEO and CFO to have too much access to funds. A protocol should be in place that when a sale of stocks is made and no one authorized it then a full audit should take place from a third party or if a loan is going to be made then more then just the CEO and CFO’s approval needs to be given.
