Walker-Plath Motor Co. v. Johnson
Walker-Plath Motor Co. v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
This is an action in replevin in which the plaintiff in error sought to recover an automobile from the defendant in error. The complaint is in the usual form of an action of that kind.
The defendant answered alleging a purchase of the automobile from the plaintiff, and denying the former’s title and right of possession. The plaintiff, by replication, alleged matters intended to show that the supposed sale was invalid because of fraud on the part of the vendees. The plaintiffs having recovered, the defendant brought the cause here on error and the judgment was reversed. Johnson v. Motor Co., 68 Colo. 160, 187 Pac. 1029. The ground of the re
The trial court was evidently misled by the unfortunate statement in the opinion that the complaint was bad.
The amended replication contains allegations which supply the deficiencies in the first replication, and present an issue which should be tried.
The judgment is therefore reversed.
Mr. Justice Denison and Mr. Justice Whitford concur.
