U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, 1927

City of Detroit v. Julien

City of Detroit v. Julien
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit · Decided October 15, 1927
21 F.2d 830; 1927 U.S. App. LEXIS 2777 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

City of Detroit v. Julien

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. Defendant’s motion to direct, made, at the close of plaintiff’s evidence, was waived by putting in proof without renewal of the motion; and, in any event, there was substantial evidence to support the verdict. The doctors’ evidence was, in substance, an expression of expert opinion as to the probability of permanence in the injury. A deduction of an unknown amount on account of pain and suffering must be made from the verdict; and hence no one can say that so much as was compensation for lack of earning power was excessive.

Let the mandate issue forthwith.
