Hale v. Deaton

CATINNA, Commissioner. Robert V. Hale appeals and Elizabeth Nickell Deaton cross-appeals from a judgment entered by the Fayette Circuit Court, Civil Branch, Fourth Division, ordering that Hale and others make an accounting of property that came into the possession of Minnie Hale as a result of power of attorney executed to her by George Hubert Hale. Robert V. Hale asserts upon appeal that the findings, conclusions, and judgment of the trial court concerning a ratification were clearly erroneous. Elizabeth Deaton asserts upon cross-appeal some eight grounds of error, and also claims that the judgment entered by the trial court on April 29, 1974, was interlocutory, and the subsequent order of May 28, 1974, did not render it final and appealable.
