Parrish v. Jesseegreen2 sentences2024“The validity of a judgment based upon a challenge to the application of a statute raises a question of trial error, and not a question of jurisdiction.” Pure Presbyterian, 296 Va. at 56 (quoting Parrish v. Jessee, 250 Va. 514, 521 (1995)). 2023Therefore, because “[t]he validity of a judgment based upon a challenge to the application of a statute raises a question of trial error, and not a question of jurisdiction,” if the trial court “has jurisdiction of the subject matter of the controversy, and the parties are [properly] before it, . . . a mistaken exercise of that jurisdiction does not render its judgment void.” Pure Presbyterian, 296 Va. at 56 (quoting Parrish v. Jessee, 250 Va. 514, 521 (1995)). | 5 | 6 |
