How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the non- party appellant lacked standing to appeal the trial court’s judgment when it “departed from the case, on its own motion, long before the judgment” was entered
  • stating that “[g]enerally, an election between inconsistent remedies is made after a verdict is entered but prior to the entry of judgment”
  • observing that although “rescission” and “rescind” appear in § 3052’s English translation, “these terms, technically, are not synonymous with the terms ‘resolucion’ and ‘resolver’ which appear in the original Spanish text”
  • vacating damage award for, among other reasons, \a strong likelihood that the remedies thus far conferred overlap\
  • nonparty appellant allowed “when a lower court specifically directs an order at a non-party or enjoins it from a course of conduct”
  • “The election of remedies doctrine applies only when the remedies sought are legally or factually inconsistent.”
