Idaho Supreme Court

Jones v. Sligar

July 19, 2024

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed both judgments arising from the dissolution of the parties’ business venture. It held that the small-claims actions were properly consolidated, Jones’s Rule 60(b) motion was untimely because it was not filed within a reasonable time, and claim preclusion barred his later accounting action. The Court also affirmed the attorney-fee rulings, awarding fees to Sligar for the Sligar I appeal but awarding no appellate fees in Sligar II.
