Moret v. Vázquez
Moret v. Vázquez
Opinion of the Court
after making the above statement of facts, delivered the 'opinion of the court.
The findings of fact and conclusions of law contained in the judgment appealed from are accepted.
Moreover, the protests of lack of defense, entered at the hearing by counsel for appellant, cannot be considered, inasmuch as no restraint has been put upon her legitimate means of defense. On the contrary, all the proofs proposed by her and deemed pertinent to her claims were admitted, and more than the necessary time allowed her for the presentation of said proofs, including the direct and cross-examination of the witnesses of the adverse party, whereof she could have availed herself had she been willing to do so. Aforesaid protests of lack of defense cannot, therefore, be justified, especially when they were not entered at the oral trial, nor any demand made for the correction of errors alleged to have been committed in the order of procedure. For these reasons they are to be viewed as having been acquiesced in, and cannot serve as grounds for a reversal of the judgment appealed from.
In view of the aforementioned legal provisions, we adjudge that we should affirm and do affirm the judgment appealed from, with costs against appellant.
