189 N.W. 514 | S.D. | 1922
The opinion in this case was filed on the 5th day of- June last. Appellant has filed-a petition asking for a rehearing on the ground that what we say in this case conflicts with what we said in Walters v. Hahn, 43 S. D. 153, 178 N. W. 448. In Walters v. Hahn we said:
“There was no ‘doing of business’ in’this state; but.one transaction was proven. And it is-established that the entering into of 'but a single transaction is not the • ‘doing of business’ under such a statute,”, referring to § 8909, Code .1919.-
This was not a cáse where but á single transaction had taken place. In this case we say;
“But a -single transaction constitutes the ‘doing of business’ under the terms-of section 8909, unless for some reason such transaction falls within some exception to the law, and the party claiming’ the -benefit of the exception, has the burden of showing such fact.”
But the statements mean exactly the same thing, to-wit, that where it is shown -that the foreign corporation had engaged in but a single transaction, such transaction does not constitute the doing of business within the meaning of section 8909. In this case the 'evidence shows a sufficient number of transactions to constitute the doing of business within the meaning of said stat
A rehearing is denied.
