Jerry M. Blevins and Carol A. Blevins v. Hillwood Office Center Owners’ Association

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama vacated the trial court’s summary judgment and dismissed the appeal because the plaintiffs lacked standing, rendering the lower court without subject‑matter jurisdiction. The Court held that the amendment adding Carol as a plaintiff did not cure the jurisdictional defect. The decision relies on Alabama precedent that standing is a jurisdictional prerequisite that cannot be remedied by amendment.
