Flager v. Associated Truck Lines, Inc ( 1974 )

O’Hara, J.

(concurrence in result). I concur in the result reached by Judge Bronson because this was a general verdict of no cause of action. Under these circumstances I conclude that the verdict simply reflected what is perfectly manifest from the record. There was absolutely no basis for a finding of any actionable negligence, subsequent or otherwise, on the part of the defendant. Hence, there was no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge in denying the motion for a new trial.
