Propst Construction Co. v. North Carolina Department of Transportation

296 S.E.2d 295, 307 N.C. 124, 1982 N.C. LEXIS 1604

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Court of Appeals erred in remanding this case for trial by jury. Under N.C.G.S. 136-29(c), any controversy concerning a completed contract for the construction of a state highway is to be tried by a judge without a jury. Therefore, the opinion of the Court of Appeals is modified to the extent that the controversy is remanded for trial by a judge sitting as the finder of fact. Except as modified herein, the opinion of the Court of Appeals is affirmed and adopted by this Court.

Modified and affirmed.
