New York Court of Appeals
Alfred Pangburn, Respondent v. Buick Motor Company, Appellant, Impleaded With Another
May 5, 1914211 N.Y. 228
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the jury's mixed verdict, which awarded $5,000 against the automobile owner despite finding no negligence by the driver, must be treated as a verdict of no cause of action against the owner. Because the verdict was contrary to the law and no exception was taken, the appeal from the judgment was proper, and the court reversed the judgment and ordered a new trial.
