How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating that “the test of jury instructions is not abstract perfection”
- holding “no harm was done” by the court’s slip-of-the-tongue references to “the” proximate cause because they were juxtaposed with a “very clear and explicit statement” advising the jury that negligence playing “any part, no matter how small” was enough
