E. Jay Ferdinand and Phyllis C. Ferdinand, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Agricultural Insurance Company of Watertown…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court’s directed verdict and remanded for a new trial, holding that uncontradicted testimony of an interested plaintiff is not conclusive when credibility is in issue and reasonable minds could differ. The court emphasized that the jury, not the judge, must resolve credibility questions unless the evidence is so clear that only one conclusion is possible.
