|||||
Overview: As Ala. Code § 23-4-5's 30-day appeal limitation did not apply to an abutting property owner who never received notice of hearing on a proposed vacation of alley as required by Ala. Code § 23-4-2, and owner, who received no such notice, could possibly prove his property abutted alley, dismissal of his suit challenging the vacation was premature.
