Description
The plaintiffs, Annette Powell, and her two minor children, Mario Edward Lawrence and Gwendlyn Daphane Lawrence, brought this action against the defendants, J. L. Stanford, a veterinarian, and Ashland Terrace Animal Hospital, PC, for damages and other relief. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants willfully inflicted emotional injuries upon the plaintiffs by their outrageous and extreme conduct in threatening that they "would do away with" the plaintiffs little dog as the doctor saw fit unless the plaintiffs paid "in cash and in full" charges made by the defendants for treating the dog for injuries suffered when struck by an automobile, although the plaintiffs had made known to the defendants that they were unable to pay the complete bill in full at the time demand was made and had sought an agreement from the defendants to allow payment over a period of time which request was denied. It was alleged in the complaint that the defendants threatened to "do away with the dog" unless the bill was paid in full by Friday, January 11, 1980. Being unable to raise the money sufficient to pay the bill by the deadline thus set, plaintiffs brought this action on January 11, 1980, to enjoin the defendants from disposing of the dog and asking for damages for the "outrageous conduct" of the defendants.
