Olsen v. City of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 1, 1968
30 A.D.2d 812 (N.Y. App. Div. 1968)

Opinion

July 1, 1968


In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, dated February 14, 1967, which set aside a jury verdict in his favor on the issue of liability, as against the weight of the credible evidence, and ordered a new trial. Order affirmed, without costs (cf. General Exch. Ins. Corp. v. New York City Tr. Auth., 20 Misc.2d 2). We are of the opinion that the verdict, particularly as it imported findings in plaintiff's favor on the issues of contributory negligence and constructive notice, was clearly against the weight of the credible evidence. Christ, Acting P.J., Brennan, Rabin, Hopkins and Munder, JJ., concur.
