VAIL v. VAIL

No. 77-95.

360 So.2d 992 (1978)

In re Rubert Milton VAIL v. Rachael VAIL. Ex parte Rubert Milton Vail.

Supreme Court of Alabama.

June 9, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Perry Hubbard, Tuscaloosa, for petitioner.

B. Wayne Randall and Olin W. Zeanah of Zeanah, Donald & Hust, Tuscaloosa, for respondent.


EMBRY, Justice.

The issue presented by this writ of certiorari, granted to review the Court of Civil Appeals, is whether the error of the trial court in compelling Rubert Vail to testify over his invocation of the privilege against self-incrimination was so prejudicial as to require reversal. We hold it was and will reverse the decision of that court and remand the cause to it.
