Description
This is a suit for injuries allegedly arising from the negligent operation of an automobile. Defendant Mitchell, the operator
of the car, was served but failed to appear at trial; and the court entered a default judgment against him in the amount of
$10,000. That judgment is not contested on appeal. At the close of testimony, the trial court entered a directed verdict in
favor of the owner of the car, defendant/Mrs. Eloise Smith. The plaintiffs appealed and argue that two rulings require reversal: 1) The trial court's refusal to grant a continuance in order to obtain the presence of Mitchell constitutes an abuse of its
discretion; and 2) The trial court's granting Mrs. Smith's motion for a directed verdict.
