“a fundamental defect which inherently results in a complete miscarriage of justice,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Irby v. Coplin · Short v. Garrison“Original jurisdiction over juvenile offenders is vested exclusively in the juvenile and domestic relations court, except those cases in which the offender has been transferred to the circuit court for criminal proceedings .... Thus, if there be a significant defect in the transfer proceeding, the circuit court never gains jurisdiction over the juvenile and therefore has no authority to impose a sentence on the offender .... the jurisdiction of the circuit court may depend upon actions by the juvenile court, and, if the juvenile court fails to take a fundamental action required by the statutes, the circuit court never gains jurisdiction over the juvenile offender, or at least loses its authority to proceed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“exceptional circumstances where the need for the remedy afforded by the writ of habeas corpus is apparent.”
