Opinion
March 20, 1972
On the present record we find that the verdict in favor of plaintiff husband for loss of his wife's consortium is excessive and should be reduced to $2,000. Judgment modified, on the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered, limited to the issue of damages to the plaintiff husband for loss of consortium, unless he shall, within 20 days after service of a copy of the order to be entered hereon, stipulate to reduce the verdict for loss of consortium to $2,000 and interest, in which event the judgment, as so modified and reduced, is affirmed, without costs. Herlihy, P.J., Staley, Jr., Greenblott, Cooke and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
