Description
Plaintiff sued defendants for injuries she received when struck by a taxicab owned by defendant Yellow Cab Company and driven by defendant Harvey. After extensive testimony, the jury returned a verdict of $25,000 in favor of plaintiff. Subsequently, the trial court granted defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and also entered a conditional order for a new trial in the event the judgment notwithstanding the verdict was reversed on appeal. On appeal, plaintiff contends that: (1) the trial court usurped the jury's function when it entered a judgment notwithstanding the verdict; and (2) the trial court erred in entering a conditional order for a new trial where no grounds for such an order existed. For reasons that follow, we reverse the circuit court.
