SMAW v. COHEN

1 Citing case

  1. Harvey v. Johnson

    45 S.E. 644 (N.C. 1903)   Cited 4 times

    The act of 1901 is an amendment to section 1781 of The Code, which subjects the property upon which the repairs or improvements are made to a lien. This brings the case directly within the reason for the decision in Smaw v. Cohen, 95 N.C. 85. In that case the jurisdiction of the justice was sustained by reason of the express requirement of the statute that a suit against a person to enforce such a lien, when the amount is less than $200, shall be brought in a justice's court.
