Cunningham v. Hodges

Shulman, Judge.

Appellants-tenants Cunningham, Paynter, Shirley, and Serino brought suit against appellee-landlord for damages resulting from a fire in their apartment building. The court granted defendant-landlord’s motion for a directed verdict against all appellants on the ground that damages had not been proved as a matter of law. On appeal, we affirm as to appellants Cunningham and Paynter; we reverse as to appellants Shirley and Serino.
