Hendricks v. Dietrich, 135 Vt. 409 (Vt. 1977)
376 A.2d 770; 1977 Vt. LEXIS 639
Barney, Billings, Daley, Hill, Larrow

Hendricks v. Dietrich

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This case was commenced as an action in district court formerly known as justice ejectment. After dismissal of the ejectment action, it was amended to a declaratory judgment action concerning the rights of the parties under an option to purchase after default. This became an action to try title, which is not cognizable in district court. 4 V.S.A. § 437.

Judgment vacated for lack of jurisdiction in the trial court.
