New Acton Coal Mining Company, Inc. v. Tim Woods

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed New Acton Coal Mining Company's appeal and vacated the trial court's order granting a new trial, holding that the order was issued in a non‑final judgment and therefore not appealable under § 12‑22‑10. The Court explained that separate trials under Rule 42(b) do not create final judgments absent a Rule 54(b) entry, and that the appellate court lacks jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders.
