Indiana Court of Appeals
Michael R. Bixeman and Doreen Bixeman v. Hunter's Run Homeowners Association of St. John, Inc.
45A03-1411-PL-406
Civil plenary. Affirms trial court ruling that the sanction imposed by Hunter’s Run on the Bixemans’ was invalid because the homeowners association did not give the couple the required 10 days notice as outlined in the homeowners’ covenants. Reverses denial of the Bixemans’ claim of slander of title because Hunter’s Run knew the lien placed on their home was invalid but refused to release it. Remands for determination whether the couple was damaged by the slander of title, and if so, to what extent, as well as to enter findings on attorney fees.

Roger D. Levy v. Elizabeth Jackson
29A02-1407-CT-482
Civil tort. Reverses order granting Jackson’s request for a new trial and remands for the trial court to reinstate the jury verdict in favor of Levy on Jackson’s civil negligence action stemming from a car accident. The court’s order failed to comply with Trial Rule 59(J). Judge Robb dissents with separate opinion.
