Brown v. Lee (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was involved in an automobile accident with Appellee. After litigation involving Appellant, Appellee, Appellant's insurance carrier, and Appellee's insurer, the circuit court found that Appellant was entitled to an offset or credit and allowed her to file a satisfaction of judgment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Appellant failed to preserve for appellate review his arguments that (i) the circuit court erred in allowing Appellee to file a satisfaction of judgment, (ii) the court erred in not sustaining Appellant's objection to the satisfaction of judgment, and (iii) the filed satisfaction of judgment was void; (2) Appellant's argument that the order of the circuit court should be reversed because the circuit court lacked authority to grant an offset was without merit; (3) the circuit court erred by misstating a sum paid by Appellee's insurance company, but the error was harmless; and (4) Appellant was precluded from raising the argument on appeal that the circuit court erred in depriving him of court costs.
