Plaintiff Again Victorious

Original digitized document (Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, page 1 of 3)

Case: Way, Bush & Co. vs. Smith & Crapper & J. R. Scranton (1862)

Document Location: Washington State Archives, Cheney, WA

Subject: Collections, Business

Synopsis: The plaintiffs issued a plethora of allegations for why the amount of several hundreds of dollars was owed to them. As was typical in business vs. business collections cases, the plaintiff usually had more than enough proof to request a summary judgment. The Court ruled that the defendants were required to pay all requested moneys. It is also interesting to note that the plaintiff's attorneys' handwriting was more legible in the "demand" section at the end of the Motion.
