Sidden v. Talbert Ex Rel. Talbert

BALEY, Judge.

Defendants assign as error the failure of the trial court to grant their motions for a directed verdict.

Upon defendants’ motion for directed verdict “[a] 11 the evidence which tends to support plaintiff’s claim must be taken as true and considered in its light most favorable to plaintiff, giving [him] the benefit of every reasonable inference which legitimately may be drawn therefrom. . . . Contradictions, conflicts and inconsistencies are resolved in plaintiff’s favor. (Citations omitted.)” Bowen v. Gardner, 275 N.C. 363, 365-66, 168 S.E. 2d 47, 49. Miller v. Enzor, 17 N.C. App.…
