Reeves v. Lord

4 Citing cases

  1. Helms v. Powell

    514 So. 2d 1025 (Ala. 1987)   Cited 6 times

    Although the testimony from the plaintiffs was contradicted, the decision of the trial judge is supported by credible evidence and is presumed correct, and it is neither palpably erroneous nor manifestly unjust. The defendants argue that the case of Reeves v. Lord, 487 So.2d 879 (Ala. 1986), is controlling and that it serves to negate the evidence presented by Smith. In the Reeves case, a survey of the disputed property was made and the resulting plat was used during testimony by the defendant.

    812 So. 2d 324 (Ala. 2001)   Cited 2 times

    Further, such a judgment will be reversed only if it is plainly erroneous or manifestly unjust. Reeves v. Lord, 487 So.2d 879 (Ala. 1986). This Court has held, however, that it is error for a trial court to establish a line not supported by the evidence presented by either landowner.

  3. Bushnell v. Martin

    553 So. 2d 92 (Ala. 1989)   Cited 2 times

    The trial court's judgment will be reversed only when it is plainly erroneous or manifestly unjust. Reeves v. Lord, 487 So.2d 879, 880 (Ala. 1986). Admittedly, it is a rare case when this Court will overturn a finding by a trial judge who hears a boundary line dispute presented ore tenus.

  4. Reeves v. Lord

    537 So. 2d 11 (Ala. 1988)

    In our first review, we reversed the judgment and remanded the cause. Reeves v. Lord, 487 So.2d 879 (Ala. 1986) (holding that because of the absence from the record of the defendant's survey, the judgment was not supported by the evidence). This suit was initiated by Dudley and Marjorie Reeves, to have the Covington Circuit Court determine the true western boundary of their property, pursuant to Code 1975, ยง 35-3-1.
