Hall v. Gehrke

Defendant in error, who was the plaintiff in the trial court, brought suit against defendant, plaintiff in error here, to clear title to her land, and sought damages totaling $7,000 for slander of title. Subsequently plaintiff withdrew her request for damages, and the court entered summary judgment in her favor clearing her title of any interest or claim which defendant might have in her land. Defendant, who filed a cross complaint asking for specific performance of a contract and then unsuccessfully sought favorable summary judgment, now comes here by writ of error.
