How Judge Evans decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
Evans treated finality as a jurisdictional prerequisite and would not review an interlocutory venue ruling before the underlying trial ended.
“Defendant must reach a final decision in the trial before he can secure a review of the alleged error which occurred in refusing him a change of venue.”
Cautions
A subcontractor could not revive an expired lien period by later repairing defective material without charge after contract completion.
“subsequent performance of some service or furnishing some material remedying the defect will not operate to extend the time for claiming a lien or to revive a lien then expired.”
An administrative unfair-practice order did not require proof that specific merchandise sales actually resulted from the lottery devices supplied.
“proof that sales were made because of such lottery practices is not necessary to support an-order under this section.”
