Smith v. Grabbe

196 Ill. App. 325 | Ill. App. Ct. | 1915

Mr. Justice Carnes

delivered the opinion of the court.

7. Appeal and error, § 1802*—when cause remanded to permit amendment of declaration without considering effect of such amendment. Where a judgment is reversed because the declaration does not support the judgment, and the cause is remanded to permit an amendment of the declaration so as to state a cause of action, the Appellate Court will not consider whether the contemplated amendment will state a new cause of action and so render the declaration as amended liable to a plea of the statute of limitations where appellant’s counsel in argument insists on such question, and where appellee asserts the contrary and further urges that the point was not preserved for review, and where neither party cites authority sustaining his contentions.
