Court Of Appeals Conflict Panel: Stipulated Final Order Not Required To Reserve Appellate Rights; Dramshop Act Does Not Bar Claims Based On Conduct Unrelated To Intoxication
Court of Appeals conflict panel holds that a stipulated final order does not require reservation of appellate rights language in order to review interlocutory order. Dramshop Act does not bar claims for negligence related to hiring, training and supervision of employee unrelated to actions of intoxicated patron.
Why Aren't There More Conflicts Panels?
Over the years, I have observed that there are many times when the COA in a published decision does not acknowledge a prior published opinion that is on point, or disagrees with a prior published opinion.
