Overview: In an annexation proceeding, it was error to find that a city's fiscal plan did not comply with Ind. Code § 36-4-3-13(d). It was apparent that the city had made credible and enforceable commitments to provide services to the territory, and the trial court's finding that the plan did not meet the statutory requirements was akin to a judicial audit.

Stephens v. State, No. 20A05-0702-CR-95, COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA, October 17, 2007, Decided, October 17, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court properly held that a felony nonsupport defendant was collaterally estopped from arguing the validity of a child support order. The State was invoking offensive collateral estoppel, and to hold that strict mutuality and identity of parties were required would allow all nonsupport defendants to challenge the underlying support orders.

View this case - free  

Overview: Life insurance policies purchased by defendant on a decedent when the two were partners were valid at their inception because defendant had an insurable interest in the decedent's life and because the decedent consented to the policies' issuance. Thus, defendant was entitled to maintain the policies on the decedent after the partnership terminated.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court's judgment awarding damages and attorney fees to former employee on his counterclaim pursuant to Indiana Wage Payment Statute, Ind. Code §§ 22-2-5-1 and 22-2-5-2, was reversed, as business development commissions he received were not wages under that law, especially since they were based on collections for services and not on billings.
