I think you may have meant <<If the SC decides the de novo standard was incorrect>>...
In this case the SC could "reverse and remand"...etc and require the circuit court to apply clear error standard. Do I have this right? Thanks for looking at this. I am approaching this with a totally non legal background, so thanks for your patience ahead of time if I have it backwards. Regards, bp
