Supreme Court of Arkansas

Padgett v. Padgett

June 4, 20152015 Ark. 262

Summary

The court remanded the matter because the circuit court's extension order omitted the required finding that all parties had an opportunity to be heard on the extension motion. The court held that Rule 5(b)(1) requires strict compliance and directed the circuit court to determine whether the rule was satisfied when the original extension was sought and granted.
