Veenema & Wiegers, Inc. v. White Co.
Veenema & Wiegers, Inc. v. White Co.
Opinion of the Court
This case was tried by the District Court judge, sitting without a jury; and the sole ground of appeal is that there was error in the denial of plaintiff’s motion for a “directed verdict in its favor.” This and other specifications raise the question of whether there is any evidence to support the judgment.
The inquiry must be resolved in the affirmative. Under the circumstances, it was open to the judge to find that the sale was in fact unconditional, and that the conditional sales agreement was an afterthought. Moreover, he found as a fact that the defendant corporation had no knowledge of the claimed conditional sales contract between plaintiff and Siematkowski, until after the sale in the proceedings instituted to foreclose its chattel mortgage, and the resale of the vehicle to Palo (it was not recorded at any time); and, in
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
