In this paper, we prove the following result: Let $$\mathcal {F}$$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain D and let $$S=\left\{ \varphi _i:1\le i \le 5\right\} $$ be a set of five distinct meromorphic functions on D. If for each $$f \in \mathcal {F}$$ and $$z_0 \in D$$ , there is a constant $$M>0$$ such that $$f^{\#}(z_0) \le M$$ whenever $$f(z_0)= \varphi (z_0)$$ for some $$\varphi \in S$$ and if $$f(z_0) \ne \varphi (z_0)$$ for all $$\varphi \in S$$ whenever $$\varphi _i(z_0) = \varphi _j(z_0) $$ for some $$i,j \in \left\{ 1,2,3,4,5\right\} $$ with $$i \ne j$$ , then $$\mathcal {F}$$ is normal on D. Further we extend this result to the case where the set S contains fewer functions. In particular, our result generalizes the most significant theorem of Lappan (i.e. Lappan’s five point theorem).
