February 17, 2017229 So. 3d 1091

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed both consolidated appeals because the trial court's Rule 54(b) certifications improperly separated adjudicated claims from closely related claims that remained pending. The adjudicated and pending claims all depended on the parties' competing rights and interests in the Grand Bay property, creating an unreasonable risk of piecemeal appellate review and inconsistent results. No separate opinions were filed.
