5K Farms, Inc. v. Miss. Dept. of Rev.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted certiorari in this matter to address the specific question of whether the requirement to post a pretrial bond set out in Mississippi Code Sections 27-77-5 and 27-77-7 (Rev. 2005) was procedural or jurisdictional. If procedural, it would constitute an intrusion by the Legislature into the assigned powers of this Court and of the judicial branch of government, and a violation of Article 6, Sections 144 and 146 of the Mississippi Constitution. Having considered the issue, the Court found that it's precedent was clear: the requirement of a pretrial bond relates to appellate jurisdiction and is within the powers of the Legislature. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the judgments of the Court of Appeals and of the Chancery Court for the First Judicial District of Hinds County.
