Shaw v. Roovers Bros. Inc.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Dec 3, 1942
45 N.E.2d 905 (N.Y. 1942)

Opinion

Argued October 26, 1942

Decided December 3, 1942

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, PATTERSON, J.

Ralph Stout, Stephen Callaghan and Harold A. Gates for appellant.

William S. Overend and Samuel A. Feir for respondents.


The plaintiff produced evidence sufficient to sustain the special verdict, and the trial judge erred in dismissing the complaint. We may not review the order setting aside the verdict on the ground that it is "against the weight of the evidence" as well as on the ground that it is "contrary to law."

The judgments should be reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.

LEHMAN, Ch. J., LOUGHRAN, FINCH, RIPPEY, LEWIS, CONWAY and DESMOND, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
