STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA IN CIRCUIT COURT

COUNTY OF MINNEHAHA SECOND JUDICIAL CIRCUIT

A.B., Plaintiff

vs. INTERVENER'S ANSWER

C.D., Defendant

E.F., Inc., Intervener

First Defense

Intervener admits the allegations stated in paragraphs 1 and 4 of the complaint; denies the allegations in paragraph 3, and denies the allegations in paragraph 2 in so far as they assert that the brakes of the automobile described in plaintiff's complaint were defectively manufactured.

Second Defense

Plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence which proximately caused or contributed to the accident and to the personal injuries which he sustained therein, if any, in that he drove said automobile at a high rate of speed in a negligent and careless manner after the discovery of the defective condition of the brakes which contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff was greatly more than slight in comparison to the negligence, if any, of this intervener.
