MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Lambert v. Morania Oil Tanker Corp., 677 F.2d 245 (2nd Cir. 1982):

In deciding Morania's motion for a directed verdict, the district court was required to view the evidence most favorably to the plaintiff, giving him the benefit of all reasonable inferences. Bigelow v. Agway, Inc., 506 F.2d 551, 554 (2d Cir. 1974). Nonetheless, the district court did not err in directing a verdict in favor of Morania.
