Jjjtb, Inc. v. Stephen v. Schmidt

Summary

The Court held that case jurisdiction, unlike subject matter jurisdiction, is waivable when a party fails to timely object in the trial court. Because Schmidt litigated the amended foreclosure action, sought affirmative relief, and did not raise the case-jurisdiction objection until appeal, the objection was waived. The Court therefore quashed the Second District’s decision and approved the conflicting decision to the extent consistent with its opinion.
