Clara E. Platt, Admx. v. Charles A. Shields and David S. Conant

Summary

The Vermont Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s judgment, holding that Judge Moulton was authorized to complete the trial after Judge Thurber’s death, that the general exception to appellate review does not apply when any request is denied, and that the trial court’s finding of a reasonable $5,000 attorney fee is conclusive unless grossly excessive; the court corrected a clerical error and awarded the defendants fifty cents.
