Goetz v. Jacobs
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Submitted on motion of defendants-appellees to dismiss the appeal for defect of parties defendants-appellees. The judgment was entered on a motion directed to the fourth amended petition in which the defendants were specifically named. The notice of appeal sets out the defendants-appellees by name, two of them in type, with the addition, “et al. Defendants”.
The Code, §12223-5 GC, provides in part:
“In said notice the party appealing shall be designated the appellant, and the adverse party, the appellee, and the style of the case shall be the same as in the court of origin.”
The notice of appeal is not in good form, but we cannot say that there was an intention not to make all defendants
The motion will be denied.
