Supreme Court of Arkansas

Convent Corporation v. City of North Little Rock, Arkansas, a Municipal Corporation; Joe Smith

January 28, 2021615 S.W.3d 706

Summary

The court held that Convent had standing, but dismissed as moot its challenge to the administrative condemnation decision because the property had already been razed and no effective relief remained. It reversed the dismissal of Convent's as-applied constitutional, civil-rights, and trespass claims because those claims were improperly dismissed solely for failure to exhaust administrative remedies, while affirming summary judgment on the facial due-process and bill-of-attainder claims and affirming the denial of the motion to strike. The court also upheld the ruling on the vagueness claim because Convent raised it for the first time in its summary-judgment briefing.
