Jerrel v. Hartford Fire Insurance Company

Thornton, J.—

At the outset, plaintiffs urge defendant, in its (appellant’s) Brief and Argument, has not complied with rule 344(a)(3), Rules of Civil Procedure, and no question is presented for review. While there is not a strict compliance with the rule, the errors relied on are sufficiently clear that neither counsel for plaintiffs nor this court has been misled. We will pass on the merits where prejudice, if any, to appellee is slight. Agans v. General Mills, Inc., 242 Iowa 978, 48 N.W.2d 242, and McBeth v. Merchants Motor Freight, Inc., 248 Iowa 320, 79 N.W.2d 303.
