Opinion
No. 206A85
Filed 10 December 1985
APPEAL by defendant from a decision of the Court of Appeals, 73 N.C. App. 228, 326 S.E.2d 382 (1985), one judge dissenting, vacating and remanding judgment entered by Lewis, J., at the 5 August 1983 Civil Session of Superior Court, NASH County. Heard in the Supreme Court 18 November 1985.
Dill, Fountain Hoyle, by William S. Hoyle, for respondent-appellant.
Fitch Butterfield, by G. K Butterfield, Jr., for petitioner-appellee.
Our review of the decision of the Court of Appeals reveals that the case was decided by that court on the basis of the principle of "prior non-conforming use," an issue not raised or briefed by the parties to this action and not supported by the record. Accordingly, the decision of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the case is remanded to that court for further consideration of the issues raised by the appellant in her brief filed in the Court of Appeals.
Vacated and remanded.
