A very short opinion (2 pages) about why a trial court cannot consider issues regarding damages when the property owner failed to timely object to the report filed by the court-appointed appraisers. In Clark Cnty. Bd. of Aviation Comm’rs v. Dreyer, No. 10S01-1308-PL-529 (Sep. 12, 2013), the Indiana Supreme Court held it was not because the failure to object deprived the trial court of jurisdiction, but only because … well, you didn’t object. Forfeiture, waiver, whatever you want to call it, we suppose.
Not much there, folks, but we posted it anyway because how often do see a Supreme Court admit that the language in its own earlier opinion “is misleading?”
