Councell v. Douglas

The basic question to be decided on this appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence to justify the jury in finding that Cooksey, at the time of the accident, was operating defendant’s automobile as an agent or servant of defendant, or that the relationship at such time between defendant and Cooksey, with respect to the operation of defendant’s automobile, was one of principal and agent or of master and servant. If there was such evidence, the judgment of the Court of Appeals must be affirmed, and, if not, that judgment must be reversed and final judgment must be rendered for defendant.
