Berlin v. Pickett

HAROLD L. LOWENSTEIN, Judge.

Dr. Roger Berlin appeals from the trial court’s judgment for the defendants in Berlin’s action on account against William H. Pickett and William H. Pickett, P.C. (collectively “Pickett”). The trial court, sitting as trier of fact, granted Pickett’s oral motion for a “directed verdict and/or judgment” 1 without making any findings, though respondent Pickett had requested findings pursuant to Rule 73.01. Because the trial court violated Rule 73.01 and because this court is unable to provide meaningful review, the judgment is remanded.
