Lurline Noisette, Respondent v. Bassem Ismail, B.g. Owens D/b/a Auto Refurbishing, Penn National Insurance Company…

Summary

The court held that the permissive-user issue was not properly before the Court of Appeals because Penn National did not move under Rule 59(e) to amend or alter the circuit court's judgment on that ground. Because the circuit court substantially complied with the requirement to state the basis for its judgment, the Court of Appeals should not have vacated the judgment and remanded for additional findings. The court reversed the remand and reinstated the circuit court's judgment on the issue.
