Spies v. Engel

Full title: JOHN SPIES, Appellant, Respondent, v. WALTER ENGEL, Respondent, Appellant

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

Date published: Mar 1, 1932

235 App. Div. 711 (N.Y. App. Div. 1932)

Opinion

March, 1932.

Present — Finch, P.J., Merrell, McAvoy, Martin and Sherman, JJ.

Judgment and order reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to abide the event. The verdict is clearly a compromise verdict. If the defendant is liable for damages the amount allowed is inadequate. If the defendant is not liable there should be a judgment for the defendant.
