City of Little Rock, Arkansas, Appellant v. Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Appellee — Hart, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Hart dissented from any affirmance, concluding that the circuit court lacked authority under Rule 11 to sanction the City for filing continuance motions and that, in any event, the sanction was imposed without the required notice. She also concluded that payment made after a contempt threat did not moot the challenge and that the city attorney's unconditional penalty constituted criminal rather than civil contempt. The dissent would have set aside the sanction and dismissed the subsequent contempt.
