Commissioner of Banks Ex Rel. United Bank and Trust Co. v. Gavin

163 S.E. 926, 202 N.C. 843, 1932 N.C. LEXIS 269

Opinion

. _ Pee CueiaM.

The judgment in this action is affirmed on the authority of Brown v. Polk, 201 N. C., 375, 160 S. E., 357, and decisions of this Court cited in the opinion in that case. A judgment in the action pending in the Superior Court of Lee County at the date of the commencement of this action would not support a plea of res judicata in this action. The causes of action alleged in the complaints in the two actions are not the same; and the results sought are dissimilar. This renders the plea in abatement bad.

The Commissioner of Banks by name should be made a party to this action. This may be done by amendment. Commissioner of Banks v. Harvey, ante, 380.

Affirmed.
