Alexander v. Cahill

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “While this defense may also have merit, the defense never gave notice before trial that it would raise the defense at trial.”
• “Unless the pretrial stipulation resolved the question of notice of a possible defense, however characterized, a trial judge, in the sound exercise of his or her discretion, should not admit facts that suggest the defense for the first time at trial.”
• “Rule 103 . . . requires that claims of error be predicated upon a ruling. If a party makes the tactical decision to object, the trial judge must . . . definitively rule thereby preserving both the objection and the basis for the ruling on the record.”
