Casado v. Melas Corp.

EAGLES, Judge.

We note at the outset that the trial court’s conclusions that defendant was negligent and that its negligence proximately resulted in some damage to plaintiffs’ property are not challenged in this appeal. Here, plaintiffs appealed from a judgment in their favor because it awarded only nominal damages. As this Court recently held, a party who prevails at trial may appeal from a judgment that is only partly in its favor or is less favorable than the party thinks it should be. New Hanover Co. v. Burton, 65 N.C. App. 544, 310 S.E. 2d 72 (1983); G.S. 1-271. See also McCulloch v. R.R.…
