How Judge Page decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
After a jury waiver, Page required a party to request findings or rulings to preserve general questions for appellate review.
“the record presents here no question of law or fact for review, except as to certain rulings upon the evidence”
Page reviewed preliminary injunctions for abuse of discretion and considered parallel litigation, solvency, and practical timing.
“There was no abuse of discretion in deny ing the injunction.”
Unnecessarily repetitive records and briefing could forfeit appellate costs even when the appellant obtained reversal.
“There are many other things in the record and the briefs that make them unjustifiably long.”
