Oregon Supreme Court Confirms that Oregon Court of Appeals is Lawful Court

In Carey v. Lincoln Loan Co. (Balmer, J.) the Supreme Court has held, unanimously, that Amended Article VII, the constitutional authority for the creation of the Oregon Court of Appeals, is a valid part of the Oregon Constitution.  The court reasoned that any procedural irregularities in the adoption of Amended Article VII were cured by the people's implied ratification of that provision, which is evidenced by the fact that the people have amended that provision many times following its adoption in 1910.
