Shumway v. Milwaukee Athletic Club

The appellant first claims that the court after directing retrial of the case should not have granted the motion for a directed verdict and entry of judgment dismissing the complaint. The claim is without merit. The situation is not different in its results or the considerations involved from that involved in the common practice of denying a motion for a directed verdict, taking a verdict, and on motion after receipt of the verdict setting it aside and entering judgment for dismissal. See Paro v. Carter, 177 Wis. 121, 129, 188 N. W. 68; Thoe v. Chicago, M. & St. P. R. Co. 181 Wis. 456, 465,…
