Supreme Court of North Carolina, 1949

Laprade v. North Carolina Railroad

Laprade v. North Carolina Railroad
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided December 14, 1949 · PER CURIAM.
56 S.E.2d 597; 231 N.C. 343 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Laprade v. North Carolina Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The plaintiff appealed from an adverse judgment based upon the verdict of the jury, on the issue of contributory negligence. An examination of the record in the light of the several exceptions noted by the plaintiff fails to disclose any substantial error in the trial of the case, either in the admission of testimony or in the court’s instructions to the jury. The case involved controverted questions of fact which on the determinative issue of contributory negligence the triers of the facts have resolved against the plaintiff. The result will not be disturbed.

No error.
