Dickson v. Doherr
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Dickson v. Doherr, 194 A. 916 (Pa. 1937)
328 Pa. 10; 1937 Pa. LEXIS 601
Kephart, Schaffer, Maxey, Drew, Linn, Stern, Barnes
Dickson v. Doherr
Opinion of the Court
An appellate court may reverse an order granting a new trial because of the amount of the verdict; but where a new trial is granted because the verdict is inadequate, an appellate court will hesitate to consider the order granting a new trial, especially where it appears from the argument and the opinion of the court below that the amounts were manifestly too small.
Appeal dismissed.
