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 and Court of Appeals, holding that the jury's finding of a defective design was supported by more than a scintilla of evidence and that the judgment non obstante veredicto was erroneous; the court also affirmed the exclusion of settlement and warning evidence. Justice Daniel dissented, arguing that a directed verdict was proper and that the settlement should have been disclosed to the jury.
