Tompa v. Tompagreen1 sentence2025As we said in Tompa v. Tompa, 867 N.E.2d 158, 166 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007), “there is no abuse of discretion for the trial court not to do that which it is not required to do.” [43] We decline to interpret Highland Realty as a command to treat the word “may” in that opinion as if it were “shall.” Here, the trial court was well within its discretion not to impose terms and conditions upon Anderson’s motion for voluntary dismissal of the Amended Complaint. | 1 | 1 |
