Supreme Court of Arkansas

Henry Morgan v. Todd Turner

May 20, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 282

Summary

The court held that the circuit court improperly dismissed Morgan’s complaint with prejudice. Because the circuit court considered exhibits outside the pleadings, the dismissal was reviewed as a summary-judgment ruling, and the record contained unresolved factual and legal issues concerning payment, preclusion, fee restrictions, and joinder. The court rejected the challenge to appellate jurisdiction and reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
