Supreme Court of North Carolina February 5, 1892 (Nimocks v. Cape Fear Shingle Co.)

Merrimon, C. J.:

A corporation, in or out of term-time of the Court, may confess a judgment in favor of a party without action, as allowed by the statute

(The Code,

§§ 570, 572), but to do so effectually the statutory requirements must be strictly observed in all material respects. This method of obtaining judgmentis out of the ordinary course of procedure and subject to abuse.
