Frank A. Moultrie v. Charles O. Wall Ii and Autauga Automotive, LLC

Summary

The court dismissed the portions of Moultrie's appeal challenging the contempt judgment and amended temporary restraining order because the notice of appeal was untimely. It affirmed the later attorney-fee judgment, holding that Moultrie did not demonstrate that the trial court exceeded its discretion or failed to provide an adequate basis for meaningful appellate review. Justice Murdock, dissenting, and Justice Shaw, dissenting in part, would have treated the contempt judgment as nonfinal until the amount of the sanctions was set and would not have affirmed the fee award at that stage.
