Lucas v. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co.

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Lucas v. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co., 174 S.E. 301 (N.C. 1934)
206 N.C. 909; 1934 N.C. LEXIS 350
PER CURIAM.

Lucas v. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co.

Opinion of the Court

Pee Cubiam.

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.
