Weisgram v. Marley Co.

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a Court of Appeals may direct entry of judgment as a matter of law when evidence is erroneously admitted and remaining evidence is insufficient, based on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50 and Neely v. Martin K. Eby Construction Co. Weisgram argued for automatic remand for new trial determination, but the Court ruled fairness is preserved because the party had notice and opportunities to argue for new trial. The judgment of the Eighth Circuit is affirmed.
