“"We must examine our technical rules closely when it appears that invoking them would defeat justice; otherwise we become slaves to the technicalities themselves and they acquire the position of being the ends instead of the means. This is especially true in a case such as the one at bar where we prejudice no one by allowing the record to be corrected at this point." 174 Ind. App. at 463 , 368 N.E.2d at 17 , quoting American States Ins. Co. v. State (1972) 258 Ind. 637 , 283 N.E.2d 529 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"(a) The appellant will suffer substantial expense, damage or injury if the order is erroneous and the determination thereof is withheld until after judgment, or (b) The order involves a substantial question of law, the early determination of which will promote a more orderly disposition of the case, or (c) The remedy by appeal after judgment is otherwise inadequate."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Certainly, the orderly procedure of our judicial system calls for adherence to the rules designed to achieve that goal. But we should never ignore the plain fact that the consequence of strict adherence to the rules may occasionally defeat rather than promote the ends of justice.... Such is not the desired effect of our flexible rules of procedure.”
