2001-01-25 Judgment on the appeal rendered, CJ L'HD Ia Ma Ba Bi Arb, The Chief Justice (orally): The Court learned late last night that in these proceedings a summary judgment had been filed in the Kansas proceedings November 8, 1999. It appears to the Court that this development, which we were unaware of, may significantly change the nature of the issues and argument before us on this appeal. We therefore propose to adjourn the hearing of this appeal to give the parties an opportunity, should they wish, to file affidavit material as to the facts surrounding this development and to make submissions on the effect it may have on this appeal. The parties may also wish to discuss costs in their submissions. We would ask that in the event the parties choose to file material, that the filings of materials and submissions be completed within 60 days of today's date in default of which the appeal will be dismissed.
Adjourned, no order as to costs
