Georges v. Ob-Gyn Services, P.c. — Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Summary

The concurring and dissenting opinion agrees that the defendants' appeal from the jury verdict was untimely because the postverdict interest motions neither delayed final judgment nor tolled the appeal period. It disagrees with the denial of permission to file a late appeal, concluding that objectively reasonable confusion about the appeal deadline, coupled with the absence of prejudice or undue delay, constituted good cause and made the denial an abuse of discretion. The dissenting justice would have allowed the defendants to pursue the merits of their appeal.
