Description
BEATTY, JUSTICE. On December 7, 1977 the plaintiff, Mrs. Fannie Lou Williams, filed suit in the Circuit Court of Bibb County against the defendant,
Cecil Crews Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc., (Crews Oldsmobile) for fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of warranty, and against
the defendant, General Motors, for breach of warranty. Both claims arose out of the sale of a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.
The case was tried before a jury which returned a verdict for Mrs. Williams against Crews Oldsmobile, in the amount of $30,000.00
and for Mrs. Williams against General Motors in the amount of $20,000.00. Crews Oldsmobile and General Motors filed motions
for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or in the alternative for new trial. Crews Oldsmobile's motion was denied. A remittitur
of the judgment against General Motors to the amount of $2,500.00 was stipulated to by Mrs. Williams and General Motors and
was granted by the trial court. Crews Oldsmobile filed this appeal on March 3, 1980. This Court determined that the judgment
appealed from was not a final order and dismissed the appeal on July 22, 1980. The plaintiff then filed a Rule 60(a) motion
to correct clerical error or omission and/or to correct the record on appeal. The plaintiff also filed a supplemental record
with this Court, showing that a final judgment had been entered. This Court granted the motion and reinstated Crews Oldsmobile's
appeal. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
