How courts have described this case

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

• “A motion for JNOV may be granted only when there is no evidence or inferences to support the opposing party’s position.”
• “Motions for JNOV should be resolved with extreme caution since the granting thereof holds that one side of the case is essentially devoid of probative evidence.” (quotation omitted)
• “As the trial judge cannot reweigh the evidence and substitute her own judgment for that of the jury, we conclude that the trial court erred in effectively overruling the jury’s determination of [plaintiff’s] entitlement to zero damages.”
