Hankin v. Spilker
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided March 10, 1950No. 877PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CAYTON, Chief Judge.
This appeal arises from a judgment denying recovery on five promissory notes. The notes in question had been executed by appellee 'Mrs. Spilker for legal services rendered her by appellant Hankin in ' a divorce action. In the court below Mrs. Spilker defended on the ground of misrepresentation by Hankin when the notes were signed, and a jury returned a verdict in her favor. Hankin brings this appeal, assigning some fifteen errors. The decisive question is whether Mrs. Spilker is precluded by the doctrine of res judicata from denying liability on the notes.
