Godwin v. Griffin-Bland Hotel Co.

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Godwin v. Griffin-Bland Hotel Co., 196 N.C. 821 (N.C. 1929)

Godwin v. Griffin-Bland Hotel Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per CueiaM.

The judgment of nonsuit was entered on the theory that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence on his own testimony, but viewing the evidence in its most favorable light for the plaintiff, the accepted position on a motion to nonsuit, we think the case should have been submitted to the jury.

It would serve no useful purpose to discuss the evidence, as the only question before us is whether it is sufficient to carry the case to the jury, and we think it is.

Reversed.
