Severin doctrine

The Severin doctrine (Severin v. United States Court of Claims, 1943. 99 Ct.Cl. 435) states that a general contractor cannot sue an owner on behalf of one of its subcontractors to recover monies due to the subcontractor unless the general contractor is itself liable to the subcontractor.[1]
