Domingue v. Dickinson

YELVERTON, Judge.

Plaintiff sued for collection of two promissory notes against the deceased-debtor’s estate. The administratrix-defendant refused to pay. She alleged that the plaintiff loaned the deceased money for an illegal gaming operation involving two video poker machines. (This action predates Act 1062 of the 1991 Legislature which effectively legalized draw poker devices.) The defendant alleged that the notes were unenforceable for unlawful cause. The trial court held that the notes were valid and ruled in favor of the plaintiff. We reverse and dismiss.
