Supreme Court of Arkansas

Pulaski Choice, L.L.C. v. 2735 Villa Creek, L.p. — Wills, J., Concurring

February 25, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 125

Summary

Justice Wills agrees with the majority's answers to the certified questions but concludes that the court should have accepted and decided the entire appeal rather than answering substantive questions and remanding the remaining issues. He reasons that the certification mechanism permits resolution of preliminary, procedural, or jurisdictional questions, not merits questions that will leave unresolved issues for the court of appeals. Justice Hannah, concurring separately, agrees that the entire case should be retained here because reassignment would not promote judicial efficiency.
