Woodburn v. Jones

134 S.E. 748, 102 W. Va. 191, 1926 W. Va. LEXIS 103

Opinion

Litz, President :

This is an 'action of trespass on the case for malpractice. On the trial the court directed a verdict for the defendant, and entered judgment for costs in favor of the defendant. Prom the judgment the plaintiff obtained a writ of error. The defendant has filed a motion to dismiss the writ as having been improvidently awarded.

As the trial court did not enter a judgment of nil capia! the order was not final, and the motion must be sustained. Hunt v. Mounts, 96 W. Va. 143; Kirk v. Camden Interstate Railway Co., 66 W. Va. 486.

Dismissed as improvidently awarded.
