Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 88 v. State

Summary

The court held that it had jurisdiction over the State’s appeal even though the notice of intention to appeal identified the Court of Appeals, because the State timely pursued review, obtained a bypass order, and FOP 88 showed no prejudice. The court further held that the Commission of Industrial Relations improperly treated its 2018 certification order as preclusive and lacked an adequate record to do so sua sponte. The order was reversed and remanded for a new determination, based on the existing record and supported by written findings and explanation.
