"Once more unto the breach, dear friends . . . . God for Harry, England and St. George!"

The Court looks at this case for the third time

Larson Mfg., Inc. and Atlantic Mutual Insurance v. Thorson

http://www.judicial.state.ia.us/Supreme_Court/Recent_Opinions/20090313/06-0799.pdf 

"Our decision recent decision [sic] in Thorson II, 

____ N.W.2d at ____ (Iowa 2009), reveals the district court’s correct 

assessment of the insubstantial likelihood that Larson would prevail in 

the judicial review proceeding, and we find no abuse of discretion in the 

court’s consideration and balancing of this factor."

Thorson's posting of a supersedeas bond ensures that Larson's interest would be protected in case it did prevail in the appeal. Two other issues raised on appeal were held moot.
