Warner v. Kittle

West Virginia Supreme Court

Decided July 17, 1981No. 14599PublishedCited by 10 opinions

1Per curiam

This is an appeal by Martha Warner and others from a final order entered by the Circuit Court of Randolph County on January 31, 1979, dismissing their action to determine title to a 115 acre tract of land. The court ruled that the appellants failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and that their claim was barred by laches. In this appeal the appellants assert that the trial court erred in so ruling and in dismissing their case without affording them an opportunity to present evidence on the issues raised. We agree, and we reverse the decision of the circuit court.
