Reynolds v. Davis

Reynolds v. Davis
Superior Court of Rhode Island · Decided July 5, 1934 · Pouliot
12 R.I. Dec. 6

Counsel

For plaintiff: Comstock & Canning., For defendant: Hinckley, Allen, Til-linghast & Wheeler.

Reynolds v. Davis

Opinion of the Court

POULIOT, J.

This matter is now before the Court on giving the plaintiff opportunity to remit so much of the verdict as the Court deems excessive.

The Court feels that, on the evidence adduced, $4,000 would be a fair, reasonable and ample sum to award the plaintiff in damages.

Therefore, if the plaintiff, within ten days, remits all of the verdict in excess of $4,000, then defendant’s motion for a new trial is denied, otherwise it is granted.
