On Thursday, the Mississippi Supreme Court handed down one opinion, and I was approaching the confluence of a dispositive/Daubert motions deadline in one case and an expert designation deadline in another.
Heritage Hunter Knoll, LLC v. Lamar County, Mississippi, 2021-CA-01325-SCT (Civil – States Boards and Agencies)
Affirming in part and denying in part the dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of a property owner’s appeal of the County Board’s decisions related to a waste ordinance, holding that the appeal of an amendment to the ordinance was time-barred because it was not appealed within the 10-day time limitation in section 11-51-75, but also holding that the appeal of the Board’s denial of a variance request was timely filed and remanding for a full hearing on that issue.
(9-0)
NOTE – The Supreme Court also held that the property owner did not engage in claim splitting when it filed a separate lawsuit in federal court while appealing the Board’s actions:
