2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“THE COURT: The Court concludes, based on the testimony, that the plaintiff [Mr. Davis] has established grounds to grant him a divorce absolute on the grounds that the parties have lived separate and apart for the statutory period of more than two years. The Court reserves, however, the authority under the statute to make a marital award, if any, after hearing testimony on the property interest of the parties and that the parties will be entitled at that time to present any testimony that they desire to present on the issues or the factors that are to be considered by the Court in reaching a conclusion as to what award, if any, ought to be made.

[COUNSEL FOR MS. DAVIS]: Could we have a time reservation on that? THE COURT: 90 days. [COUNSEL FOR MS. DAVIS]: And if we cannot get a date within that period, Your Honor— THE COURT: Then the Court will extend it beyond the 90 days, if need be, but I would suggest—we ought to try to get this settled as soon as possible, so you just inform the assignment office that we need this to be heard within 90 days. [COUNSEL FOR MS. DAVIS]: Maybe we can go over there from here, Your Honor. THE COURT: Yes.”

Davis“When more than one claim for relief is presented in an action, whether as a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, or when multiple parties are involved, the court may direct the entry of a final judgment as to one or more but fewer than all of the claims or parties only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay and upon an express direction for the entry of judgment. In the absence of such determination and direction, any order or other form of decision, however designated, which adjudicates fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties shall not terminate the action as to any of the claims or parties, and the order or other form of decision is subject to revision at any time before the entry of judgment adjudicating all the claims and the rights and liabilities of all the parties.”
