Phillips v. Thomas
Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Myers, J., entered January 19, 1912, upon the verdict of a jury rendered in favor of the plaintiff, in an action for alienation of affections.
1Opinion of the CourtEllis, J.
This is an action for the recovery of damages for the alleged alienation of the affections of the plaintiff’s former husband. The jury returned a verdict against the defendant for $35,000. The defendant moved seasonably for a new trial upon all of the statutory grounds, and the court, deeming the verdict excessive, overruled the motion upon the condition that the plaintiff would remit $10,000 from the verdict. The plaintiff accepted this condition, and a formal judgment for $25,000 was entered against the defendant, from which she has appealed.
