Estate of Anderson v. Schwarze Indus. Inc.dissent

Summary

Justice Hart dissented from the denial of review, concluding that the estate had preserved its sufficiency-of-the-evidence challenge by moving for a directed verdict. She would have remanded the case to the court of appeals to consider the merits rather than apply a procedural bar based on counsel's imprecise wording. The dissent characterized the directed-verdict motion as consistent with a products-liability theory that the sweeper was defective because it lacked a low-cost safety feature.
