City of Elk River v. Bolton & Menk, Inc., Vessco, Inc., Schwing Bioset ...

Syllabus

The district court did not abuse its discretion in certifying the order as a final partial judgment under Minn. R. Civ. P. 54.02 because the district court explained why certification was necessary, the third-party claims presented distinct issues from the principal claims, and the case was in its early stages at the time of certification. Reversed and remanded.
