Altamil Corp. v. Miss. State Highway Com'n

2 Citing cases

  1. In re Grant

    631 So. 2d 758 (Miss. 1994)   Cited 2 times
    Finding no separation of powers violation in statute which authorized mayors of municipalities to also serve as municipal judges

    Pure and simple, at this time, this Court has no in personam jurisdiction over the four respondents in this cause. A correlation exists between the case sub judice and Altamil Corp. v. Miss. State Highway Commission, 391 So.2d 1013, 1014-15 (Miss. 1980). In Altamil, this Court held that where the Commission did not timely perfect a direct appeal against one of several defendants, the defendant was not properly before this Court.

  2. Volkswagen of America, Inc. v. Novak

    418 So. 2d 801 (Miss. 1982)   Cited 32 times
    Holding that the defendants breached their express warranty by failing to install an engine that functioned properly despite their attempts to repair the problem by installing several new engines

    The evidence proved this automobile was so defective that it did not conform to its primary purpose of transportation, and that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to sell for a reasonable price, thus leaving the purchaser with no redress short of filing suit. VWoA argues the lower court erred in granting MAC and Hinkle directed verdicts. It is clear from Altamil Corp. v. Miss. State Highway Com'n., 391 So.2d 1013 (Miss. 1980); Lowery v. Conner, 189 So.2d 922 (Miss. 1966); and Junkins v. Brown, 238 Miss. 142, 117 So.2d 712 (1960), that VWoA has no standing to complain of the directed verdicts granted its co-defendants.
