Rose, 446 So.2d 1 (Ala. 1984), and Scott v. Kilpatrick, 286 Ala. 129 , 237 So.2d 652 (1970), the circuit courts’ decisions were due to be set aside. I have some concerns with the concept that, when a trial court rules contrary to that substantive law, it lacked jurisdiction instead of simply committed reversible error. However, that issue is not briefed in the materials before us; therefore, I see no need to resolve it at this time. --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/cases/4849977.
