Judge Grady Withholds Ruling On Motion In Power Line Suit
Judge Henry A Grady said he would not rule on a motion to dismiss a suit by three farmers against Carolina Power and Light and Johnston County Electric Membership Corp to halt power line work. He ordered the stenographer who prepared minutes from a cooperative council meeting to appear in court. The restraining order requires the company to show cause why it should not be enjoined and the directors to explain their duty to farmers as agents. Defense argued the plaintiffs lacked standing as nonmembers of the cooperative association. The ruling was reserved after a lengthy hearing.
