Ditto v. Ditto Investment Company

Ditto Investment Company, respondent, sued James Ditto, Independent. Executor of the Estate of James Ditto, Sr., on a claim for medical services allegedly rendered by Dr. H. Howard Ditto to his uncle, James Ditto, Sr., and for attorneys’ fees. The claim of Dr. Ditto against the estate of his uncle is based upon an alleged oral agreement by James Ditto, Sr. that Dr. Ditto’s medical bill would be paid out of Ditto, Sr.’s estate after his death. Dr. Ditto is the only living witness to the alleged agreement and it is conceded that without his testimony the agreement cannot be proved.
