ISSUEWhether the Superior Court erred in refusing to sustain

the Defendant’s motion for a judgment of nonsuit

because of the Plaintiff’s intestate’s contributory

negligence?

Was the Plaintiff’s complaint defective?

Powers v. Sternberg, 213 N.C. 41,195 S.E. 88 (1947)

Hill v. Lopez, 228 N.C. 433, 45 S.E.2d 539 (1947)

Coylar v. Atlantic States Motor Lines, 56 S.E. 2d 647 (1949)

Citing Powers v. Sternberg, 213 N.C. 41,195 S.E. 88

(1947), the Defendants claim that the Court made an error

in refusing to sustain their motion for judgment as of

nonsuit on the ground that Mr. Nathan J. Bailey, the

deceased driver, was guilty of contributory negligence as a

matter of law.

and Dawson v. Seashore Transportation Co., N.C. 36, 51 S.E.2d 921 (1949): in order for the Court to consider such a motion, the evidence regarding the deceased driver would have to so clearly establish contributory negligence that no other reasonable conclusion could be drawn from the evidence presented.

and any such evidence the Defendants relied on to support their claim of negligence per se or prima facie negligence barred the Defendants from a motion for a judgment of nonsuit.

Also, the action for damages by the

Plaintiff was mentioned in the

summons which was filed within one

year of Mr. Bailey’s death. The

complaint does not have to allege

damages for Mr. Bailey’s death;

therefore, the complaint is not

defective.

Thank you.
