|||||
Overview: Trial court properly declared that restrictive covenants limiting the use of nine contiguous beachfront lots to single-family dwellings were unenforceable, because the use of the land within a one-mile radius of the lots had changed drastically since the date of the deeds, and the original purpose of the covenants could no longer be accomplished.

|||||
Overview: Appellate court erred in ruling that a property owner's appeal of a condemnation order was timely under Ala. Code § 18-1A-283, but the doctrine of equitable estoppel required that the appeal be treated as timely, as the owner relied to his detriment on a probate court judge's erroneous statement of the last day on which the appeal could be filed.

|||||
Overview: In a workers' compensation action, the trial court properly determined that a worker was permanently and totally disabled, as the worker had not made complaints of similar pain prior to an on-the-job accident, and testimony by vocational experts and doctors indicated that it was unlikely that the worker could be capable of returning to work.

SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, September 21, 2007, Released
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: State supreme court found company and corporate parent's appeal of trial court's denial of their motion to dismiss had to be dismissed; neither issue trial court certified for appeal constituted controlling question of law as required by Ala. R. App. P. 5(a), and, thus, state supreme court concluded leave to appeal had been improvidently granted.

SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, September 21, 2007, Released

|||||
Overview: As the legislature specifically granted Alabama circuit courts jurisdiction to reconsider sentences under Ala. Code § 13A-5-9.1, and the plain language of § 13A-5-9.1 did not limit that jurisdiction to one motion per defendant per case, the trial court erred in dismissing an inmate's second § 13A-5-9.1 motion based on lack of jurisdiction.

COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, September 21, 2007, Released

|||||
Overview: Trial court's ruling that deed conveying certain land was valid because county was equitably estopped from challenging its validity was error; county lacked legal power to convey or transfer title to right-of-way to alleged property owners' predecessors in interest, as property was not properly vacated pursuant to vacation statutes or abandoned.
