Schneider v. Cohan

Supreme Court of Florida, Special Division B
Jun 24, 1952
59 So. 2d 644 (Fla. 1952)

Opinion

June 24, 1952.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Stanley Milledge, J.

Goldstein, Klein, Burris Lehrman, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Myers, Heiman Kaplan, Miami, for appellees.


This is an appeal from an order setting aside a verdict and granting a new trial. In the order, among other things, the trial Judge stated that in his opinion "the verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence." Having expressed this opinion, it would have been error for the trial Judge to refuse to grant a new trial. See Tampa Waterworks Company v. Mugge, 60 Fla. 263, 53 So. 943; Hamilton v. Wilson, Fla., 50 So.2d 884; Richbourg v. Hilton, Fla., 56 So.2d 539.

Having reached this conclusion, it is unnecessary to consider any other assignments of error.

Affirmed.

SEBRING, C.J., ROBERTS, J., and REVELS, Associate Justice, concur.
