At the Courthouse
So, I have fallen behind again. I'm on vacation (well... it's an ALL WINTER vacation) and have a hard time finding the time or energy to get it done.
Today, I will catch up!
At the Courthouse - I have one thought on this... well, actually two, but one has been discussed in an earlier post (with the title SURPRISE!)
The problem I have with this is I DO NOT understand what the verdict even means- but it has been cited over the years in the Supreme Court. I will link to one of the articles I find when Google our name- and maybe someday I will take the time to really understand the legalese used in the retelling of the issue. The BIGGEST problem is- any of the newspaper articles that might discuss the topic CHARGE A FEE and I refuse to pay for one more service!!!
Here goes-
The case was called Biggins vs. Oltmer Iron Works.
A free link to the case is below:

As often as I have tried to get through it, I just no longer have the patience to do it.
I know it has to do with a partial summary judgement ??? But it alludes to specific rules (Rule 54(b)) and I just get lost.
At any rate - it happened in 1944. There was a ton of money (for that time) involved. I guess we kind of won, but also lost- but I know it's used in Supreme Court rulings even today - this verdict has been cited 122 times. UGH. Lawyers.
That's all I've got.
