Owner quitclaimed property to successor, filed plat, then recorded deed, and continued to convey interests in property. Statutes provides for correction deeds to cure defects in earlier instrument unless void. Statutes also provide for deeds’ admission into evidence, so circuit court did not err in overruling hearsay objection. Rule provides execution discovery against judgment debtor developers, but discovery sought information about assets of buyers, so circuit court did not err in striking discovery. Law of the case and judicial estoppels bind claimant to result sought in earlier actions. Appeal cuts off all jurisdiction over a final judgment, except ministerial functions and vests judicial jurisdiction in the appellate court, but circuit court retains jurisdiction over partial judgment as to portions not certified for appeal.
