Earlington v. Anastasi

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the trial court improperly denied remittitur when the jury awarded damages that were more than 50 percent greater than what the plaintiff's expert had calculated
• concluding that, although court erred in submitting set of interrogatories to jury, which included interrogatories that parties had pre- viously agreed to omit and another they agreed to mod- ify, submission did not affect outcome and was harm- less
• noting that judgment was final despite failure to award offer of compromise interest ‘‘[b]ecause a decision to award such interest pursuant to . . . § 52-192a is severable from the proceedings on the merits and does not require the exercise of discretion’’
• asking whether verdict ‘‘so shocks the conscience as to compel the conclusion that it was due to partiality, prejudice or mistake’’ (internal quotation marks omit- ted)
