What is the standard of review for a challenge to a jury verdict?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Angelin v. Brescia, B213088 (Cal. App. 2012):
Instone appeals from the jury verdict as well as from the denial of its motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and motions for a new trial. In reviewing a challenge to a jury verdict, we apply the deferential substantial evidence standard of review, resolving all conflicts in the evidence in favor of the prevailing party and drawing all reasonable inferences in a manner that upholds the verdict. (Holmes v. Lerner (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 442, 445.)
