How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- Court of Appeals holding not included in petition or cross-petition for review not before this court
- Court of Appeals had jurisdiction to entertain appeal from summary judgment order against one party in multiparty litigation because trial court certified there was \'no just reason for delay.'\
- When a statute is plain and unambiguous, an appellate court should not speculate about the legislative intent behind that clear language, and it should refrain from reading something into the statute that is not readily found in its words.
- \[O]ur interpretation of the plain language of the interlocking applicable statutes persuades us that a certification of 'no just reason for delay' may be made after summary judgment is granted to fewer than all parties or on fewer than all claims.\
