H. O. Meyer Drilling Co. v. Alton V. Phillips Co.
| Decision Date | 01 July 1971 |
| Docket Number | No. 41610,41610 |
| Citation | 79 Wn.2d 431,486 P.2d 1071 |
| Parties | H. O. MEYER DRILLING CO., Inc., a Washington corporation, Respondent, v. ALTON V. PHILLIPS CO., Inc., A Washington corporation, and United Pacific Insurance Company, a Washington corporation, Petitioners. |
| Court | Washington Supreme Court |
Lycette, Diamond & Sylvester, John N. Sylvester, Seattle, for petitioners.
Johnson, Jonson & Inslee, Carl A. Jonson, Seattle, for respondent.
In this cause we granted a petition to review the decision of the Court of Appeals, as reported in 2 Wash.App. 600, 468 P.2d 1008 (1970).
Our decision in Murphy v. Campbell Investment Co., Wash., 486 P.2d 1080 (1971), contemporaneously filed, involves and affirmatively resolves the basic question presented in this action, I.e., whether a contractor's substantial compliance with the registration requirements of RCW 18.27 () satisfies the policy of that statute. The essential facts in the instant case, as well as the determination of the Court of Appeals, are in accord with the Murphy case. Disposition of this cause is, therefore, controlled by Murphy.
The decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.
The reasons for my dissent have been set forth at length in Murphy v. Campbell Investment Co., Wash., 486 P.2d 1080 (1971). Nothing will be gained by repeating them in the instant case.
