16/ “IN SUIT ON LAND REGULATION, JUDGE CANNOT CHANGE RULES MID-STREAM”: The City of Rochester had many battles over land regulation with Franklin P. Kottschade. The current battle was over the regulation of two parcels of land in the city.
The district court ordered the City and the owner into arbitration. When the City later asked the district court to cancel the arbitration and proceed to trial, the district court chose instead to enter judgment in favor of the City.
Chief Justice Gildea joined a unanimous Supreme Court in reversing that result. It reversed the judgment for the City, returned the case to the district court, and directed the judge to await the results of the arbitration which the district court had ordered.
“The district court must stay a judicial proceeding when it compels arbitration because Minnesota’s Uniform Arbitration Act does not authorize the court to direct the entry of judgment after compelling arbitration.”
