BURNETT v. CORBETT

No. 198.

141 S.E.2d 468 (1965)

264 N.C. 341

Clara H. BURNETT v. William P. CORBETT and Adrian Verzaal, trading and doing business as Dixie Blue Farms and trading and doing business as Hilton Garden Center. Richard L. BURNETT v. William P. CORBETT and Adrian Verzaal, trading and doing business as Dixie Blue Farms and trading and doing business as Hilton Garden Center.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

April 28, 1965.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Addison Hewlett, Jr., Wilmington, for plaintiffs, appellants.

Hogue, Hill & Rowe, Wilmington, for William P. Corbett, defendant, appellee.

SHARP, Justice.

This appeal involves only the question of nonsuit. We may concede, as defendant tacitly does, that plaintiffs offered sufficient evidence of his negligence to repel the motion. Thus the inquiry is confined to this question: Does the evidence establish as a matter of law that negligence on the part of Mrs. Burnett was a proximate cause of her personal injuries and of Mr. Burnett's property damage? Clontz v. Krimminger, 253 N.C. 252
