Kempf Contracting & Design, Inc. v. Holland-Tucker

OPINION

KIRSCH, Judge.

Kempf Contracting and Design, Inc. (“Kempf’) appeals the judgment, after a jury trial, in favor of Cynthia Holland-Tucker (“Tucker”) in her action against Kempf for negligence. Kempf raises several issues, of which we find the following dispositive: whether the trial court erred when it entered judgment on a second verdict reached by the jury, where, after an initial verdict was reached, the trial court reconvened the jury, gave them new instructions and verdict forms, and allowed the jury to deliberate a second time.

We reverse and remand.
