Read Mullan Motor Co. v. McAtee
Dissenting Opinion
(dissenting).
After further reflection and after considering the motion for rehearing I am now of the opinion that the disposition of this case is erroneous. I now wish to dissent and adopt for my reasons those stated by Justice WINDES in his original dissent.
Dissenting Opinion
I dissent from the opinion on rehearing for the reasons set forth in' my original dissenting opinion and for the reason that the opinion on rehearing should follow the law as announced in the original dissent.
Opinion of the Court
Appellee’s motion for rehearing is granted to correct an error in the original opinion. In that opinion we treated the tender of a check for $2,000 by the Read Mullan Motor Company to McAtee on January 3, 1952, as a valid tender, which if correct, would have had the effect of relieving appellant of interest from the date of tender. Upon re-examination, we find our holding was error for the reason that under our interpretation of the proviso in the resolution, its only effect upon the first portion thereof fixing the compensation of Mc-Atee for the business year ending December 31, 1951, was to accelerate the due date of the portion of said salary based upon 10
Judgment reversed with directions to enter judgment for plaintiff for $2,000 with interest at 6 per cent from March 31, 1951, until, paid. Defendant-appellant is entitled to its costs in the trial court and on appeal.
