282 App. Div. 933 (N.Y. App. Div. 1953)

Opinion

November 17, 1953.

Present — Cohn, J.P., Breitel, Bastow, Botein and Bergan, JJ.

Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant, unless the plaintiff stipulates to reduce the verdict to the sum of $12,500, in which event, the judgment, as so modified, is affirmed, without costs. On this record we think the amount awarded is excessive. Settle order on notice.
