Farro v. Lowe's Home Centers, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 5, 1998 · Griffin, Sharp, Thompson
710 So. 2d 773; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 6516; 1998 WL 288268 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Farro v. Lowe's Home Centers, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, Chief Judge.

We find no error in the lower court’s refusal to grant appellants a new trial on liability and damages because the award of damages was small. We do agree, however, that Catherine Farro is entitled to a new trial on damages. A zero verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and contrary to law. At a minimum, she is entitled to nominal damages.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.

W. SHARP and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
