Supreme Court of Arkansas

Krystal Bohannon, Appellant v. Edward Robinson, Appellee — Hart, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

November 6, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 596

Summary

Justice Hart concurs in the result but argues that the majority improperly reviewed and corrected the vacated court of appeals opinion rather than reviewing the circuit court's judgment. She also contends that the majority improperly limited an earlier decision because that decision concerned a default judgment without an evidentiary hearing, whereas this case involved testimony at two hearings, and that the earlier appeal did not timely challenge the original order of protection. Justice Courtney Hudson Goodson, concurring, agrees that the sufficiency challenge was properly before the court but disagrees that the earlier decision was erroneous because its opinion does not disclose the argument presented there.
