Litchfield v. Tucson Ridge Hoa C/w 86245

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that a successor district judge may not revisit an issue previously decided by another judge in the same case unless a recognized law-of-the-case exception applies. Because the prior and subsequent motions presented the same legal question and no exception was established, the court reversed the summary judgment and remanded for further proceedings. The related appeal concerning attorney fees was dismissed as moot.
