Ind. Courts - "Appeals court puts hold on Simon estate dispute"

Updating a long list of earlier ILB entries on the Melvin Simon estate dispute, Jeff Swiatek of the Indianapolis Star reports today:

The Indiana Court of Appeals has accepted an appeal by Bren Simon and halted proceedings in the Hamilton County lawsuit that challenges the will of her late husband Melvin Simon.

The widow of the shopping mall magnate filed for the appeal in December to remove Hamilton Superior Court Judge William Hughes from the case, saying his impartiality is in question.

In accepting the appeal, the higher court put a stay on action in the 13-month-old case in Hughes' court.
