Jjjtb, Inc. v. Stephen v. Schmidt

Summary

The Court held that case jurisdiction, unlike subject matter jurisdiction, is waivable. A party must timely object to a trial court’s lack of case jurisdiction or lose the objection, including when the party participates in the litigation and seeks affirmative relief without raising the issue. The Court quashed the Second District’s decision and approved the conflicting Fourth District decision to the extent consistent with this opinion.
