Beal v. KH STEPHENSON SUPPLY CO., INC.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided June 6, 1978No. 7711SC487PublishedCited by 19 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

VAUGHN, Judge.

Plaintiff’s appeal presents the question of whether judgment notwithstanding the verdict was properly entered against him. Judgment notwithstanding the verdict should be granted only when the evidence is insufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict. Where the evidence admitted at trial, taken in the light most favorable to the non-moving party with all reasonable inferences drawn in his favor, is sufficient to support the verdict, it should not be set aside. Summey v. Cauthen, 283 N.C. 640, 197 S.E. 2d 549 (1973); Brokers, Inc. v. High Point City Board of Ed., 33 N.C.…
