Lucas v. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co.
Lucas v. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co.
Opinion of the Court
The demurrer was properly sustained on the ground of a misjoinder of both parties and causes of action. Williams v. Gooch, ante, 330; Carswell v. Whisenant, 203 N. C., 674, 166 S. E., 793; Grady v. Warren, 201 N. C., 693, 161 S. E., 319; Sasser v. Bullard, 199 N. C., 562, 155 S. E., 248. The several causes of action, united in the same complaint, do not “affect all the parties to the action,” as required by C. S., 507.
"Where this dual misjoinder occurs, and a demurrer is accordingly interposed, the decisions are to the effect that the action should be dismissed. Shuford v. Yarbrough, 198 N. C., 5, 150 S. E., 618; Roberts v. Mfg. Co., 181 N. C., 204, 106 S. E., 664.
Affirmed.
