Mary Bradley v. Catherine A. Pesce

Syllabus

The plaintiff filed a complaint against two parties in general sessions court. One defendant was served, but the other was not. Judgment was entered against the served defendant. Seven months later, the claim against the unserved defendant was voluntarily dismissed. The served defendant then appealed, but the circuit court dismissed the appeal as untimely. Because a final, appealable judgment in the general sessions court was not entered until the claim against the unserved defendant was voluntarily dismissed, we conclude that the served defendant's appeal was timely. Reversed and remanded.
