Covid-19 Presents New Legal Challenges and Unique Opportunities for Arkansas Citizens and Businesses Without question, everyone's life has been effected by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.  So much has changed over the last 30 days, and since little is still known about the coronavirus that has sickened so many, including how it spreads, and how it can be mitigated, governmental guidance has been a swift-moving target.  Individuals and business owners have been forced to navigate social norms and laws that seem to change every day. My legal practice is a small business, so believe me, I understand. The coronavirus has altered the way we conduct our business at Daily & Woods  and has expanded the scope of our practice.  This post will touch on some of the changes we have seen, and while there have certainly been challenges, we have also seen how the new laws have provided our clients with some good opportunities in a variety of substantive legal areas.  Legal Serv

The Duhig Rule Explained (Mineral Reservations are Tricky)

By -
Because natural gas exploration has increased in Arkansas in recent years, my clients are often negotiating land transactions where they convey the surface, but retain all or a portion of their mineral interests.  One would think that it would be simple to reserve a fractional interest in minerals from the grant, but in truth, it can be tricky.  Ask any person who has drafted a title opinion --if the deed drafter is not careful, he can be tripped up by the Duhig rule.

The Arkansas Supreme Court Issued Per Curium Order to Address Eviction Filings

By -
The Arkansas Supreme Court issued an additional per curium order this week to address eviction filings . The order requires all eviction complaints between now and July 25, 2020 to affirmatively plead that the property that is the subject of the eviction dispute is not a covered dwelling under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).  The Court noted that this was a temporary pleading  requirement, merely to reflect the CARES Act's moratorium prohibiting the lesser of a covered dwelling from filing a legal action to recover possession of property for nonpayment.  Two justices dissented from the majorit y opinion, citing separation of powers concerns, and the concern of showing favoritism to tenants over landlords. As mentioned in previous posts , the rules and guidance we receive from the courts will change from day to day.  If the COVID-19 pandemic has had an effect on your Arkansas business, or your individual way of life, and you need
