Collins v. Collins

BRITT, Judge.

Basic to all questions presented on these appeals is a determination of the validity of the Stipulation op Dismissal In 71CVD15102 filed by plaintiff on 18 February 1972 and the effect of the dismissal.

In making this determination, we deem it necessary first to consider authorities prevailing prior to 1 October 1967, the effective date of Chapters 1152 and 1153 of the 1967 Session Laws (codified primarily as G.S. 50-13.1, et seq. and G.S. 50-16.1, et seq.) and 1 January 1970, the effective date of the current Rules of Civil Procedure.
