APPEALS: An unfair procedure

The Appeal Procedure needs to be changed in Kootenai County. Assigning a judge to rehear an appeal to his own ruling is ludicrous. The odds of an impartial and fair hearing are miniscule. Both parties to the Camp Easton issue deserve a different judge reviewing the legal issues.

Neither party should have to spend thousands of $ in attorney’s fees for appeals in Boise because the judicial system here is flawed. Property left in perpetuity years ago is an important issue because back then “a man’s word was his bond” therefore oral agreements and understandings were equally important as contract verbiage. The Presiding Judge should consider changing this obviously flawed procedure.
