Hammon v. Bayless

Court of Appeals of Kentucky
Feb 14, 1958
310 S.W.2d 267 (Ky. Ct. App. 1958)

Opinion

February 14, 1958.

Appeal from the Common Pleas Branch, Second Division, Jefferson County, Circuit Court, Raymond C. Stephenson, Special Judge.

Booth, Booth Humphrey, Alexander G. Booth, Alex P. Humphrey, Louisville, for appellant.

Joe A. Wallace, Henry D. Hopson, Louisville, for appellee.


This is a malicious prosecution case. We are affirming the judgment for $2,000 on a jury verdict because we think the appellant did not have probable cause for filing a complaint against the appellee with the State Board of Examiners and Registration of Architects. Nor do we believe that he made full and fair disclosure of all the material facts to his attorneys before he filed the charges against Bayless.

The motion for an appeal is overruled, and the judgment is affirmed.
