Midwest Terminals of Toledo, Inc. v. T. Arthur Palm

Summary

The court denied Midwest Terminals’ motion for rule on clerk because its tender of the appellate record occurred beyond the maximum seven-month period allowed by the appellate rules. The court held that the underlying judgment was final before the circuit court later ruled on prejudgment interest, attorney’s fees, and costs because fee issues are collateral to the merits. The court also held that Midwest Terminals’ notices of appeal from the original and amended judgments were untimely.
