Indiana Court of Appeals
City of Muncie Unsafe Building Hearing Authority, James Lee, Doug Marshall, Deborah Malitz, Aaron Wood, and Brad King, in their official capacities v. Popatlal Patel (mem. dec.)
18A02-1707-PL-1729
Civil plenary. Reverses a Delaware Circuit Court order in favor of Popatlal Patel and remands for the trial court to enter judgment in favor of the City of Muncie Unsafe Building Hearing Authority parties, who had issued a second demolition order on a former motel property owned by Patel. The Authority’s demolition order and its decision not to release a $22,000 performance bond to Patel were not arbitrary and capricious, and the trial court abused its discretion by substituting its judgment for that of the Authority. The court expresses no opinion on whether Patel is entitled to release of the bond if the demolition work is satisfactorily completed.
