We blogged the Court of Appeals’ opinion here; go there for the details.

The Supreme Court comes to the same conclusion but vacates that opinion. It says the two things that needed to be said: 1) “we first ask whether the defendant rather than the plaintiff knew or should have known that, absent some mistake, the action would have been brought against him or her” and 2) “We hold unrepresented litigants in Arizona to the same standards as attorneys.”
