Kenneth C. Hartpence, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Hans Grouleff, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division's reversal of the trial court's grant of a new trial, holding that the trial judge's discretion was not abused and that there was no manifest denial of justice; it also held that res ipsa loquitur does not apply and that the jury charge on contributory negligence was not reversible.
