Description
I disagree with the disposition of this controversy and hence I must dissent. As indicated, the trial court granted the defendants motion for a new trial on the grounds that "in the opinion of the court" the one plaintiff, William Rice, had failed to prove damages in the amount of $1,200, which was the amount awarded him by the jury. As to the remaining plaintiff, Evelyn Rice, the trial court granted defendants motion for a new trial on the ground that she "failed to prove damage" in the amount of $17,800, which was the amount awarded her by the jury. In other words, the reason assigned by the trial court for granting the defendants motion for a new trial was that in each instance "in the opinion of the trial court" the verdict was excessive.
