Concluding that reasonable persons could differ as to the propriety of the trial court’s grant of a new trial and that, therefore, the appellant has not shown an abuse of discretion, we affirm the order under review. See Ford Motor Co. v. Kikis, 401 So.2d 1341 (Fla. 1981); Baptist Memorial Hospital, Inc. v. Bell, 384 So.2d 145 (Fla. 1980); Cloud v. Fallis, 110 So.2d 669 (Fla. 1959); Staib v. Ferrari, Inc., 391 So.2d 295 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980). On the appellee’s cross-appeal, we affirm the order denying her motion for a directed verdict as to liability.

Affirmed.
