LeMarble v. Laing
LeMarble v. Laing
Opinion of the Court
Complaint was filed June 11, 1968, seeking compensatory damages of $20,000 and exemplary damages of $50,000 from the 81-year-old defendant as the result of an alleged assault and battery upon the 13-year-old plaintiff. After a nonjury trial on June 5,1970, an opinion and judgment of no cause for action were entered on July 27, 1970. Plaintiff appeals as of right, claiming the verdict of the trial judge was clearly erroneous.
The testimony elicited at trial from the several witnesses is conflicting as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged assault and battery, which occurred in defendant’s store.
Affirmed. Costs to defendant.
