Supreme Court of Arkansas

Harold W. Planchon, Appellant v. Local Police & Fire Retirement System, Appellee

April 2, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 148

Summary

The court held that it lacked authority to revive the appeal and substitute for the deceased appellant because no current statute or appellate rule authorized that procedure. It denied the motion for revivor and substitution but remanded the matter to the circuit court so the appellant's representatives could seek relief there. The court also referred the issue to the Supreme Court Committee on Civil Practice for consideration of a possible rule amendment.
