Banner Medical v. Hon. gordon/jeremy Harris

Summary

The court held that the doctors’ dismissal did not preclude the Harrises’ vicarious-liability claim against Banner because the dismissal order was neither a final judgment nor an adjudication on the merits. The order lacked the required finality language, judicial signature, and an express determination that the dismissal operated as an adjudication on the merits. The court vacated the court of appeals’ opinion and denied Banner’s request for special-action relief.
