Description
This appeal, as its major subject of attention, addresses whether the jury was suitably instructed in a defective retread tire case where the mix of causes of action included strict products liability and negligence, as well as an assertion of deceit and misrepresentation. The jury awarded a prorated $144,000 verdict for products liability and, in a separate verdict, awarded $50,000 for deceit. The products liability judgment was paid and this appeal addresses only the judgment awarded for deceit. Some of the defendants insist the instructions permitted the jury to award the plaintiff a double recovery of damages for her injuries. These same defendants also discern an abuse of discretion in the district courts apportionment of the award of plaintiffs costs among the various defendants. The plaintiff contends the district court erred in granting a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict in favor of one defendant on the deceit and misrepresentation cause of action.
