When will a trial judge refuse to enter judgment in accordance with the jury’s verdict?

In Salter v. Hirst, Eberhard J. confirmed that it would be only in the rare case that a trial judge would refuse to enter judgment in accordance with the jury’s verdict on the basis that there was no evidence to support it. As long as there is “some evidence” on which the jury arrived at their answers, the trial judge must enter judgment in accordance with the jury verdict. It is not for the trial judge to assess the reasonableness of the evidence or its persuasiveness. It matters not to the analysis whether the trial judge agrees or disagrees with the verdict.
