Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment granting judgment for the Limestone County Commission, holding that Sara Johnson Crossfield lacked standing to challenge the road vacation because she did not demonstrate a special injury. Justice Murdock dissented, arguing that Crossfield’s proximity and alleged loss of direct access constitute a special injury and that she should be deemed an affected party.
