Description
I. Subject-matter jurisdiction, in its strict sense, is a courts power to hear and determine a particular class of actions. II. A judgment is void if the issuing court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter, lacked personal jurisdiction over the parties through a failure of service that has not been waived, or acted in a manner inconsistent with due process. Minnesota caselaw has also applied a subject-matter-jurisdiction analysis to judgments that exceed statutory authority, contain procedural irregularities, or are entered erroneously after the expiration of a limitation period. III. The failure to file an appeal within a statutory filing period is a procedural jurisdictional defect ordinarily fatal to the appeal. But the defect is not a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction in its strict sense, and the judgment is not void when the timeliness objection is raised, for the first time, 18 years later by successors-in-interest to a litigant involved in the original proceedings.
