Robert R. Reynolds, Appellant v. Leon County Energy Improvement District

Summary

The court held that a person seeking to participate in a bond-validation proceeding must appear and plead in the circuit court to obtain party status and standing to appeal. It receded from prior decisions permitting nonparticipants to appeal, affirmed validation of the proposed bonds on the merits, and remanded for removal of references to judicial foreclosure from the financing agreement. Canady, J., dissenting, would have dismissed the appeal because the appellant lacked standing.
