  1. Burgess v. Gibbs

    262 N.C. 462 (N.C. 1964)   Cited 78 times
    Stating that "every court necessarily has inherent judicial power to inquire into, hear and determine the questions of its own jurisdiction, whether of law or fact, the decision of which is necessary to determine the question of its jurisdiction"

    Jurisdictional questions arising upon motions to quash the service of process on supposed agents of foreign corporations have repeatedly been held by us to present questions for the court. Israel v. R. R., 262 N.C. 83, 136 S.E.2d 248; Farmer v. Ferris, 260 N.C. 619, 133 S.E.2d 492; Dumas v. R. R., 253 N.C. 501, 117 S.E.2d 426; Brown v. Coal Co., 208 N.C. 50, 178 S.E. 858; Lumber Co. v. Finance Co., 204 N.C. 285, 168 S.E. 219. Plaintiff's assignments of error to the court's findings of fact are overruled, because an examination of the evidence in the record before us shows that all challenged findings of fact are supported by competent evidence.
