Associates, P.A., et al.
A-1585-08T3
In this appeal, the court rejected the trial judge's
determination that a typographical error in the jury verdict
sheet, which mistakenly referred to a single defendant as
"defendants," was capable of causing jury confusion when the
thrust of the case as presented, as well as the entirety of the
jury charge, demonstrated that the claim the jury was asked to
consider was asserted against only a single defendant. As a
result, the court reversed the order that granted a new trial
for that reason and directed entry of a juplaintiff based on the jury's verdict.
