Description
The plaintiff's position is that he is entitled to the granting of his motion for a voluntary dismissal of his libel as a matter of right; that such a dismissal is effective as of its date of filing in court; and that dismissal of the libel effects a dismissal of the cross petition filed thereafter, leaving this court without jurisdiction over the plaintiff in connection with the cross petition. His exception to the denial of his motion raises these three questions. The plaintiff's motion that his libel for divorce be dismissed without prejudice was filed before any hearing had begun on the merits and before any answer or cross petition seeking affirmative relief had been filed. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff was entitled to a granting of this motion as a matter of right. Saykaly v. Manchester, 97 N.H. 4, 5, and cases cited.
