Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the directed verdict for the plaintiff, holding that a trial court may set aside a jury verdict and direct a verdict when the evidence is wholly insufficient as a matter of law, and that section 457-a of the Civil Practice Act does not abrogate the constitutional right to a jury trial.
