What is the test for setting aside a jury verdict?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hutchinson v. Petropoulos, 119 Misc.2d 1024, 465 N.Y.S.2d 110 (N.Y. City Ct. 1983):
Accordingly this court finds that the trial record doesn't contain a sufficient quantum of evidence, to warrant the setting aside of a jury verdict, and the granting of plaintiff's motion for a new trial. Such relief, should be granted only when the verdict is not one, which reasonable men could have rendered, after reviewing conflicting evidence (Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, Inc., 45 N.Y.2d 493, 410 N.Y.S.2d 282, 382 N.E.2d 1145).
