Thomas Jones; Ollye Mae Robinson Jones, Appellants v. Kimberly Jones Miller and Gerald Robinson, She — Hart, J…

Summary

Justice Hart dissented from the use of a procedural bar to dispose of the appeal without reaching the merits. She concluded that the appellant addressed each of the circuit court’s stated grounds for dismissal, including res judicata, collateral estoppel, standing, failure to state a claim, and law of the case. Justice Hart would have allowed the appeal to proceed for a merits determination.
