Indiana Appeals - Right to Change of Judge Upon Remand
In Knightstown Banner, LLC v. Town of Knightstown, the Indiana Court of Appeals set forth the criteria that must be met in order for a party to be granted change of judge after a case is remanded to the trial court. Specifically, the Indiana Court of Appeals held that in order to give rise to a change of judge as a matter of right upon remand, the matter to be decided upon remand must require a hearing and receipt of evidence and must involve at least one issue already tried and decided by the court. 882 N.E.2d 270 (Ind. Ct. App. 2008).
