View this case - free  

Overview: Property owners' consolidated appeal from a judgment requiring them to pay a worker $ 30,000 was dismissed because the judgment was not a final judgment; the circuit court's judgment did not address the property owners' counterclaim against the worker, or the worker's and mortgage company's claims against each other.

View this case - free  

Overview: Plaintiffs' wantonness claim failed, as their allegation that defendant made a "rolling stop" at an intersection and then accelerated in front of plaintiffs' vehicle did not elevate defendant's conduct from a negligent failure to exercise good judgment to a wanton act constituting reckless indifference to a known danger likely to inflict injury.

Gordon v. State, CR-06-1258, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, November 2, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because appellant's claim that he did not appeal his convictions (for assault, rape, sodomy, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle) through no fault of his own could be meritorious, the circuit court erred in not addressing it. The case was remanded to the circuit court for specific, written findings of fact.

Jacks v. Taylor, 2060455, COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, November 2, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: In a boundary dispute between a property owner and neighbors, the property owner did not prove adverse possession under Ala.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where the circuit court failed to address petitioner's claim that his failure to appeal within the prescribed time was through no fault of his own, and because the claim was sufficiently pled under Ala. R. Crim. P. 32.3 and 32.6(b), the court had to remand the case for the circuit court to address the merits of the claim.

Overview: While defendant's convictions for violations under the Community Notification Act, Ala. Code § 15-20-20 et seq., were upheld, his sentence for a violation of Ala. Code § 15-20-23(a) was reversed, as such exceeded the maximum allowed by law for a Class A misdemeanor. Thus, resentencing as to this count was ordered on remand.
