France v. Sullivan
Wisconsin Supreme Court
1Opinion of the CourtNelson, J.
The plaintiff contends that the court erred in granting the defendant’s motion for a nonsuit. Whether a motion for a nonsuit was properly granted always requires a review of the evidence adduced by the plaintiff. It is well settled in this state that in determining such a question, the plaintiff’s evidence must be given the most favorable construction it will bear, and, if there is credible evidence from which a reasonable inference may be drawn that supports the plaintiff’s cause of action, a jury question is presented.
