Reynolds v. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital

FORD ELLIOTT, Judge:

This is an appeal from the order entered May 24, 1995 and docketed June 15, 1995, denying appellant’s post-trial motions and entering judgment in the amount of $600,000. 1 Because we find a material variance between appellee’s pleadings and her proof at trial, which set forth a new cause of action and was thus barred by the applicable statute of limitations, we reverse.

As a reviewing court on a motion for a new trial or judgment n.o.v., we must consider the evidence, and all reasonable inferences which may be drawn therefrom, in the light most favorable to the verdict…
