Court of Appeals of North Carolina January 16, 1979, No. 7826SC180 (Reliance Insurance v. North Carolina National Bank)

HEDRICK, Judge.

At the outset, we note that defendant, although properly grouping its exceptions and assignments of error in the record, *426has failed to bring them forward in his brief as required by Rule 28(e) of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. We nevertheless proceed to treat the assignments of error in the record as though they had been properly brought forward.
