Avery v. Bender
Supreme Court of Vermont

1Opinion of the CourtBarney, J.
As a consequence of an earlier appeal of certain certified questions, this litigation stands determined as an action in rem. Avery v. Bender, 124 Vt. 309, 204 A.2d 314. It was commenced four years ago. It still has not progressed to the point of having responsive pleadings filed in answer to the original petition for declaratory relief. Since the decision in this Court three years ago the death of one of the named defendants has so preoccupied the litigants that the matter is no nearer being at issue than it was in 1963. New questions have now been certified here.
