Danialie Fertile, an Infant, by Her Guardian Ad Litem, Marlene Fertile, Marlene Fertile

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division’s order for a new trial on all issues relating to Danialie Fertile, reinstated the trial court’s remittitur order, and affirmed the remainder of the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that excessive damages alone does not warrant a new trial on liability and that the proper standard for remittitur is the highest amount supported by the record.
