How courts have described this case

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

• “[The defendant’s] failure to raise its objection before the jury was discharged waived the right to contest the verdicts on the basis of alleged inconsistency.”
• “[The defend- ant’s] failure to raise its objection before the jury was discharged waived the right to contest the verdicts on the basis of alleged in- consistency.”
• “[C]ourt’s instructions to the jury on the law to be applied to the jury’s factual findings as well as the requirement that the jury apply the law and render its verdict, belie characterizing this verdict form as a special verdict.”
• “[I]f the jury rendered inconsistent general verdicts, failure to object timely waives that inconsistency as a basis for seeking retrial; inconsistent special verdicts, on the other hand, may support a motion for a new trial even if no objection was made before the jury was discharged.”
