Texas Supreme Court
George Miller v. Bock Laundry MacHine Company…
December 30, 197721 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 141
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s judgment non obstante veredicto, holding that sufficient evidence existed for a jury finding that Bock Laundry Machine Company’s extractor was defectively designed and that the defect caused George Miller Jr.'s injuries; the court also affirmed the exclusion of settlement evidence and other procedural objections. Justice Daniel dissented, arguing that the directed verdict was proper and that the settlement should have been disclosed to the jury.
