Varrois v. Gommet
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Nourse, J.
Plaintiff sued Marie Gommet individually and as executrix of the estate of Fleury Gommet for a judgment decreeing that certain real and personal property was the property of plaintiff and held by said defendant in trust for plaintiff, for the transfer of such property to the plaintiff, and for an accounting. Three banks were joined as defendants upon allegations that they held moneys of the plaintiff which were deposited with them by the Gommets for the use and benefit of the plaintiff. No appearance was made for them. A demurrer, both general and special in form, was interposed to the amended complaint on behalf of the defendant Gommet individually and as such executrix. This demurrer having been sustained without leave to amend, judgment was rendered in favor of defendant and this appeal followed.
Appellant argues upon all the grounds raised by the demurrer, but respondent relies solely upon the grounds that plaintiff’s action is barred by the statute of limitations and by her laches. As to the other grounds of demurrer it is sufficient to say that they are without merit, and no discussion need be had as to them because abandoned by respondent upon this appeal.
