Commissioner of Banks Ex Rel. United Bank and Trust Co. v. Gavin
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided April 20, 1932 · PER CURIAM.
163 S.E. 926; 202 N.C. 843; 1932 N.C. LEXIS 269 (South Eastern Reporter)

Commissioner of Banks Ex Rel. United Bank and Trust Co. v. Gavin

Opinion of the Court

. _ Pee CueiaM.

The judgment in this action is affirmed on the authority of Brown v. Polk, 201 N. C., 375, 160 S. E., 357, and decisions of this Court cited in the opinion in that case. A judgment in the action pending in the Superior Court of Lee County at the date of the commencement of this action would not support a plea of res judicata in this action. The causes of action alleged in the complaints in the two actions are not the same; and the results sought are dissimilar. This renders the plea in abatement bad.

The Commissioner of Banks by name should be made a party to this action. This may be done by amendment. Commissioner of Banks v. Harvey, ante, 380.

Affirmed.
