Miranti v. Gallo
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Action to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the defendant’s negligence in the operation and control of her automobile, brought to the Superior Court in Fairfield County where the plaintiff was nonsuited in a trial to the jury before Keeler, J., and from the refusal of the trial court to set aside such judgment the plaintiff appealed.
1Per curiam
The rule governing the trial court was that stated in Girard v. Grosvenordale Co., 83 Conn. 20, 25, 74 Atl. 1126: “In passing upon the motion [for non-suit], the Superior Court was bound to regard the truth of such of the evidence introduced by the plaintiff as went farthest in support of the complaint, as admitted, and to take into account every favorable inference that plight legitimately be determined froni it. It was enough if he had thus made out a prima facie case, though it might in the opinion of the court be a weak one.” Duff v. Husted, 95 Conn. 206, 111 Atl. 186.
