The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer in two cases last week dealing with a fraudulent loan and a speedy trial.
The Indiana Court of Appeals split in its February decision upholding a motion to set aside summary judgment.
In Automotive Finance Corporation v. Meng Liu, 24S-CC-223, Meng Liu was granted relief from summary judgment by the Marion Superior Court after finding her husband forged her signatures for a loan with Automotive Finance Corporation.
On appeal, AFC argued that the trial court applied the wrong standards to Liu’s motion which the appellate court disagreed with. Now the case is before the high court.
The second case transferred stems from a denial of a motion for dismissal after the speedy trial period expired.
The appellate court affirmed the Sullivan Superior Court in September 2023 after finding the William Grimes’ arguments were without merit and the trial court’s congestion was not erroneous.
The justices concurred on the 11 denied transfer except for one.
Justice Derek Molter voted to grant transfer of The Trustees of Purdue University v. American Home Assurance Company, 23A-PL-1413. Chief Justice Loretta Rush did not participate in the decision.
