Terry Shipbuilding Corp. v. Griffian

109 S.E. 174, 27 Ga. App. 396, 1921 Ga. App. LEXIS 924

Opinion

Bloodworth, J.

The petition in this ease sets out a cause of action, and the court did not err in overruling the demurrer.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Luke, J., concur.

The demurrer was on the grounds: (1) No cause of action is set out. (2) The allegations of paragraph 6, as to the manner in which the forge was upset, are too vague and indefinite. (3) It is not shown what caused the forge to become upset and fall on the plaintiff. (4) There are no facts alleged that show that negligence of the defendant was the proximate cause of the injury.
