Supreme Court of Alabama

William M. Pickard v. American Pride Properties, LLC (Appeal from Jefferson Circuit Court: CV-21-903550).

August 30, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed the appeals by James R. Davis and William M. Pickard because the trial court’s Rule 54(b) certification was improper; the judgment on ejectment was not final while damages remained unresolved. The Court held that a claim seeking damages is not final for appellate review until the damages element is decided.
