California Court of Appeal

Decided September 29, 1936No. Civ. No. 5200PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtThompson, J.

The defendant has appealed from an order granting a new trial on the ground of lack of evidence to support the judgment which was rendered in his favor pursuant to the verdict of a jury in a suit for personal injuries which were sustained by the plaintiff m an automobile collision.

The appellant contends that the order granting a new trial should be reversed for the reason that the court failed to specify therein, as required by section 657 of the Code of Civil Procedure, that it was allowed for the insufficiency of the evidence, and that the court abused its discretion in granting a new trial.
