|||||
Overview: As an insured was not legally entitled to recover UM insurance benefits, as that phrase was used in Ala. Code § 32-7-23(a), on a claim that was time-barred under Ala.

View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Because a father's custody action was filed in Alabama before the child had been in Virginia for six months, Virginia had jurisdiction only if Alabama court declined to exercise jurisdiction. Alabama was child's home state pursuant to Ala. Code § 30-3B-201(a)(1) when father initiated his action, and trial court properly entered custody order.

SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, January 12, 2007, Released
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Trial court erred in certifying a summary judgment entered in favor of a widow ordering a cemetery to allow her to disinter the remains of her husband as final pursuant to Ala. R. Civ. P. 54(b) because the widow's claim and a counterclaim by the husband's father were intertwined and separate adjudication could have led to inconsistent results.

COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, January 12, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Because nothing in the Workers' Compensation Act, Ala. Code § 25-5-1 et seq., conferred on a medical provider an unconditional right to intervene, and because the provider did not demonstrate that the Act provided it a method for the relief it sought with regard to the employer, the trial court properly granted summary judgment to the employer.
