Grady v. Moses CA4/1
Defendant and appellant Robert Moses appeals from an order granting a new trial in favor of plaintiff Helen Griner, after a jury in Griner's personal injury action had reached a verdict finding him negligent but that his negligence was not a substantial factor in causing Griner harm. Griner moved for new trial on grounds there was insufficient evidence to justify the verdict (Code Civ. Proc., § 657). In granting the motion, the trial court ruled: "The evidence presented at trial does not support a finding that defendant's negligence did not contribute to plaintiff's harm." On appeal, Moses contends the new trial order must be reversed because the court did not give specific reasons on which it found insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict.
