Kuhn v. Schnall
Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided April 19, 2010No. 62554-3-IPublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtEllington, J.
¶1 Most of the several plaintiffs in this action were awarded some damages, albeit considerably less than they requested. The court granted a new trial on grounds of juror misconduct (material nondisclosure and injection of extrinsic evidence) and misconduct by defense counsel in closing argument. Plaintiffs were not required to show the damage awards were so inadequate as to indicate passion or prejudice in order to seek a new trial on other grounds. The court did not abuse its discretion in granting a new trial, and we affirm.
