Weaver v. Stategreen2 sentences1988Weaver v. State, supra; Harrell v. City of Conway, supra. Although the instant case presents a somewhat different fact situation in that here the appellant did submit instructions differing from those proposed by the State, rather than failing to submit any instructions or submitting inadequate instructions as in the cases cited above, we find no meaningful distinction between the facts of this case and those presented in Weaver and Harrell, supra. The essential question under the rules enunciated in those cases is whether the local rule was applied in such a manner as to contravene a statute 1988See Weaver v. State, 296 Ark. 152 , 752 S.W.2d 750 (1988). | 1 | 2 |

Superior Marketing Research Corp. v. Purifoygreen1 sentence1988The Court noted that the application of the local rule caused Weaver to lose access to the circuit court, and cited authority for the proposition that a local rule should neither be elevated to the status of a jurisdictional requirement, nor be applied in a manner which defeats altogether a litigant’s right of access to the court. 296 Ark. at 156, citing Lyons v. Goodson, 787 F.2d 411 (8th Cir. 1986). | 1 | 1 |
