Duffy v. Reading Company
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided December 2, 1942 · Schaffer, Maxey, Drew, Linn, Stern, Patterson, Parker
29 A.2d 513; 346 Pa. 201; 1943 Pa. LEXIS 302 (Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)

Duffy v. Reading Company

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

This is a suit in trespass for damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff while a passenger on defendant’s railroad. The case was tried, the jury disagreed, and the learned court below refused to enter judgment for defendant upon the whole record. This appeal followed.

We are convinced that it was necessary to submit the case to the jury, and that therefore it was proper to refuse defendant’s motion.

Order affirmed.
