Sawyier v. Young

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a counterclaim, unrelated to the question of possession, that solely sought money damages based on a real estate contract was not germane to the forcible action
• answer or counterclaim could be treated as a nullity because “mere act of filing a late pleading in the clerk’s office does not place the late pleading properly before the court”
