Davis v. Townson

This is an account case.

After a trial a final judgment was rendered and entered onSeptember 17, 1982 by the small claims court in favor of Mr. Townson, the plaintiff, for $400. No post-judgment motion was filed. The defendant's notice of appeal to the circuit court was filed on October 7, 1982. That typewritten notice erroneously stated that the date of the judgment appealed from was September 27, 1982. The true date of the entry of the judgment of the small claims court, September 17, 1982, most certainly prevails over the defendant's designation of a false, erroneous, or mistaken judgment…
