View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly considered the cost of labor in replacing a convertible top defendant damaged for purposes of establishing the amount of pecuniary loss necessary to convict defendant of criminal mischief under Ky.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 258.275(1) did not impose strict liability upon the owner or keeper of a dog, and the trial court instructed the jury consistent with the holdings of other cases, there was no error in the trial court's instructions as to the dog owner's owed duties.

Estate of DeMoisey v. River Downs Inv. Co., NO. 2006-CA-001494-DG, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, August 10, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in affirming lower court's judgment, in which lower court concluded that the estate failed to show a good reason for prosecuting an appeal and that executor was thus not entitled to recoup costs and attorney fees; appeal at issue was taken for good cause since novel question of law involved was "some good reason" for appealing.

View this case - free  

Overview: Workers' compensation ALJ erred in including an employee's profit sharing disbursements in a calculation of her pre-injury average weekly wage because wages, as defined in Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 342.140(6), did not include profit sharing within the "similar advantage" language of the statute.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a dispute over the lessee's option to purchase the lessor's property, an order granting the lessor a directed verdict was vacated; whether the lessee gave notice of closing the purchase to the lessor's son was a question of fact for resolution by the jury.
