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

The Arkansas Supreme Court Issues Updated Response to COVID-19

By -
The Arkansas Supreme Court has issued an updated response to COVID-19 with per curium opinion 2020 Ark. 164 .  Pursuant to this new order, the Arkansas Supreme Court has indefinitely suspended the following litigation service and response dates: Ark. R. Civ. P. 4(i) (Time for Service of Complaint),  Ark. R. Civ. P  33(b) (Time to Respond to Interrogatories),  Ark. R. Civ. P  34(b) (Time to Respond to Requests for Production of Documents),  Ark. R. Civ. P  36(a) (Time to Respond to Requests for Admission), and  Ark. Dist. Ct. R. 3 (Time for Service of Complaint).  The Court did not address any other deadlines.  It is very important for litigants to understand that despite this suspension on certain service and response times, because the courts remain open, statutes of limitation on new filings have not been tolled. Plaintiffs should remain diligent in pursuit of filing new claims.  Also, the Supreme Court's order is silent on effective date.  It is presumed th

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 Duhig rule is a rule of objective deed construction that has been adopted in several mineral producing states.  The rule was borne from the Texas case Duhig v. Peavey-Moore , 135 Tex. 503, 144 S.W.2d 878 (Tex. 1940).  Several other mineral producing jurisdictions have adopted the Duhig rule, either in whole, or with modifications, including Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Wyoming. In several jurisdictions, including Arkansas,  Duhig is employed by a judge to construe conveyances that meet the follow
