Legal Opinion
Hitchcock v. Rhodes
New Jersey Court of Chancery
Decided February 15, 1887Published
Where there is no decision of this court to the contrary, nor any statute •directing otherwise, the English practice must be followed, and therefore exceptions to an answer must be signed by counsel. Exceptions to answer.
1Opinion of the Court
The Chancellor.
Objection is made to exceptions filed to the answer that they are not signed by counsel. The rules of this court are silent upon the subject and there is no decision upon it. The English practice requires such signature. Under such circumstances that practice is to be followed, there being no statutory provision nor any regulation to forbid. West v. Paige, 1 Stock. 203.
