EDITOR'S NOTES | Issue 3-41

In a recent issue, we looked at cases that delved into how the courts can use their prerogative and creativity to collect information and render decisions. This week, we look at the flip side—how courts are restrained by the law. In this week’s three most significant cases, the courts are restricted when contractors fail to follow through with minor details. Whether it’s failing to object to instructions during a jury trial, forgetting to file an affidavit, or the restrictions on suing parties, the court cannot reasonably make exceptions to the law.

This week’s final case focuses on bad faith issues for a church, but provides interesting insights into the issues involved in insurability of “imminent collapse” versus actual collapse.
