Supreme Court of North Carolina.

May 8, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

R. Lewis Ray & Associates by R. Lewis Ray, Winston-Salem, for plaintiffs appellants.

Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice by Allan R. Gitter and William C. Raper, Winston-Salem, for defendant appellee.


COPELAND, Justice.

The principal question presented by this appeal is whether service of a summons directed to a person described as the agent of a corporation, when the corporation is named in the complaint and the caption of the summons as the defendant, is sufficient service of process on the corporation. For the reasons set out below, we have determined that it is; therefore, the decision of the Court of Appeals must be reversed.
