| Citation | 175 S.E. 713,207 N.C. 47 |
| Parties | STATE. v. RAVENSFORD LUMBER CO. et al. |
| Court | North Carolina Supreme Court |
Appeal from Superior Court, Buncombe County; Schenck, Judge.
Condemnation proceeding by the State against the Ravensford Lumber Company and others. From an adverse ruling, respondent Ravensford Lumber Company appeals.
Appeal dismissed.
Special proceeding, instituted under authority of chapter 48, Public Laws 1927, to condemn lands for park and recreational purposes in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
It appears from the record that the jury of view made its award, from which the respondent appealed to the superior court, where the issue of damages was tried de novo before a jury.
Certain alleged items of expenses, including taxes and insurance premiums, paid by respondent pendente lite, were not allowed as elements of damage, the court being of opinion that their recoverability could not arise until after final judgment and "after the commissioners have determined whether they elect to acquire the title." Objection; exception.
Judgment on the verdict was entered at the November special term, 1933, from which an appeal was noted, but not prosecuted, and the same was canceled by payment April 30, 1934.
Thereafter, upon motion in the cause, it was determined that respondent is precluded from claiming, by way of expenses incurred, taxes and insurance premiums paid pendente lite, as damages for the lands condemned in this proceeding. From this ruling, the respondent appeals, assigning errors.
Jones & Ward and Johnson, Rollins & Uzzell, all of Asheville, for appellant.
Winborne & Proctor, of Marion, and Johnston & Horner, of Asheville, for the State.
It may well be doubted whether any valid exceptive assignment of error has been made to appear, but as the pleadings on which the case was tried have been omitted from the record, the appeal must be dismissed in accordance with the uniform practice in such cases. Payne v. Brown, 205 N. C. 785, 172 S. E. 348; Parks v. Seagraves, 203 N. C. 647 166 S. E. 747; Armstrong v. Service Stores, 203 N. C. 231, 165 S. E. 680; Everett v. Fair Association, 202 N. C. 838, 162 S. E. 896; Pruitt v. Wood, 199 N. C. 788, 156 S. E. 126. Failure to send up necessary parts of the record proper has uniformly resulted in dismissal of the appeal. Riggan v. Harrison, 203 N. C. 191, 165 S. E. 358; Waters v. Waters, 199 N. C. 667, 155 S. E. 564.
