B.D. Nelson Land Development, Inc. v. Jackson

Supreme Court of Alabama
Jun 9, 1995
663 So. 2d 932 (Ala. 1995)

Opinion

1931442.

June 9, 1995.

Appeal from Mobile Circuit Court, No. CV-91-003166, Robert G. Kendall, Judge.

James D. Wilson III, Mobile, for appellant.

George J. Moore, Mobile, for appellee.


After a nonjury trial, the court awarded the plaintiff, Bernadette Jackson, equitable relief and monetary damages. The defendant appealed. Because the trial record shows substantial evidence in support of the equitable relief, we hold, pursuant to the ore tenus rule of appellate review, that that portion of the judgment is due to be affirmed.

Because the record contains no evidence to support the monetary award, that portion of the judgment is due to be reversed, with a judgment rendered for the defendant on the plaintiff's claim for monetary damages.

This opinion was prepared by retired Justice Richard L. Jones, sitting as a Justice of this Court pursuant to § 12-18-10(e), Ala. Code 1975.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND JUDGMENT RENDERED.

SHORES, HOUSTON, INGRAM, COOK, and BUTTS, JJ., concur.

MADDOX, J., concurs in part and dissents in part.


I would affirm the judgment of the trial court; therefore, I concur in that part of the opinion that affirms, but I dissent from that part of the opinion that reverses.
