Dougherty v. California-Pacific Utilities Company

CROCKETT, Justice:

Ronald and Judith A. Dougherty sued California-Pacific Utilities Company, to recover for damages for the flooding of their home and adjuncts thereto by the overflow of defendant’s canal. Trial to the court resulted in findings and judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the amount of $896.27. The defendant appeals, contending: that the evidence does not support the finding that it was negligent, nor that it proximately caused the plaintiffs’ damage; and also that the plaintiffs were negligent themselves in causing such damage.

Defendant, California-Pacific Utilities Company…
