Chap. 131.—An ACT to permit the trial together of cases for personal injury of
infants, with claims for the expenses of curing or attempting to cure infants
from such i injury. [H B 152]

Approved March 16, 1934

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That where
there is pending any action or notice of motion for judgment by an
infant plaintiff against a tort feasor for a personal injury, any parent,

or guardian of such infant, who is entitled to recover from the same
tort feasor the expenses of curing or attempting to cure such infant
from the result of such personal injury, may bring an action or notice
of motion against such tort feasor for such expenses, in the same court
where said infant’s case is pending, and upon motion of any party to
either case, made to the court at least one week before the trial, both
cases shall be tried together at the same time as parts of the same
transaction, but separate verdicts’ where there is a jury trial shall be
rendered in each case, and the judgment shall distinctly separate the
decision and judgment in each case.

In event of the cases being carried to the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia, which may be done if there be the jurisdictional amount
in either case, they shall both be carried together as one case and record,
but the Supreme Court of Appeals shall clearly specify the decision in
each case, separating them in the decision to the extent necessary to do
justice among the parties.
