Clifton v. Crider

STOCKARD, Commissioner.

Defendants have appealed from a judgment in the amount of $22,500 in this action for wrongful death based on the humanitarian doctrine. The notice of appeal was filed prior to the effective dates of § 477.040, V.A.M.S., and the current provisions of Art. V, § 3, Constitution of Missouri, V.A.M.S. Therefore, appellate jurisdiction is in this court. Art. V, § 31, Par. 4, Constitution of Missouri.

Appellants assert that respondent failed to make a submissible case on humanitarian negligence on the submitted issue of failure to slacken speed.
