  1. Pittman v. Littlefield

    438 F.2d 659 (1st Cir. 1971)   Cited 9 times

    Since this was the only evidence in defendants' favor, we cannot conclude that its admission was harmless, cf. Palmer v. Edgerly, 87 N.H. 391, 395, 181 A. 419 (1935), and plaintiff is therefore entitled to a new trial. See Powell v. Gagne, 102 N.H. 256, 257, 154 A.2d 750, 751 (1959); Daniels v. Barker, 89 N.H. 416, 420-421, 200 A. 410, 415 (1938). Littlefield testified that it was not normal practice to stop and inspect the pallet immediately before loading it onto the handtruck.

    480 A.2d 58 (N.H. 1984)

    The court could have inferred that Susan Pockett would have purchased the minimum U.M. coverage even if Ganley had advised her against it. "Since the Trial Court had the advantage of seeing and hearing the witnesses on the stand, we do not set aside the verdict merely because on the cold record we might draw different inferences on questions of fact."

  6. Gulezian v. Manchester

    290 A.2d 631 (N.H. 1972)   Cited 1 times

    The evidence did not require the trial court to accept this claim as correct and we would be warranted in sustaining dismissal of the petition on this ground alone. Powell v. Gagne, 102 N.H. 256, 154 A.2d 750 (1959); Fournier v. Kattar, 108 N.H. 424, 238 A.2d 12 (1968).

    This Court may not substitute its judgment on facts for that of the Trial Judge whose decision, quite properly, is based upon many factors, including the view, which do not appear in the transferred record. Powell v. Gagne, 102 N.H. 256; Hahn v. Hemenway, 96 N.H. 214. In this case it should be noted that the record amply supports the Trial Court's finding that the defendants' operation of their poultry farm entitled the plaintiffs to relief. There was testimony from which the Court properly found that the defendants carried on their business in an unreasonable manner which threatened the plaintiffs with irreparable damage.
