COHEE v. SLIGH

No. 378.

130 S.E.2d 310 (1963)

259 N.C. 248

Charlie R. COHEE v. Willie Hampton SLIGH.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

April 10, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Deal, Hutchins & Minor by Fred S. Hutchins, Jr., Winston-Salem, for defendant-appellant.

Robert B. Wilson, Jr., and Motsinger & Pfefferkorn by William G. Pfefferkorn, Winston-Salem, for plaintiff-appellee.

PER CURIAM.

If the owner of an automobile is to be held liable for the manner in which it is operated, he must be charged with responsibility for the operation—mere ownership is not sufficient. Responsibility may be imposed because of the personal negligence of the owner or because the owner acts through an agent or under the "family purpose doctrine." Lynn v. Clark, 252 N.C. 289, 113 S.E.2d 427
