Checkoway v. Cashman Bros.
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided March 26, 1940PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtQua, J.
The question to be decided is whether or not there was error in dismissing the plaintiff’s exceptions for failure to give sufficient notice of the filing of his bill of exceptions.
It is provided by G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 231, § 113, that exceptions shall be filed, “and notice thereof shall be given to the adverse party,” within twenty days after the ver*471diet. The words “notice thereof” mean notice that the filing has actually taken place. Hence the filing must in truth have taken place before the notice is given. Walsh v. Feinstein, 274 Mass. 597.
