California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Groves v. Davtyan, D069063 (Cal. App. 2016):

Groves asserts caused it confusion and never addressed or decided the questions regarding the possible negligence and proportionate responsibility of persons other Davtyan.2 (Cf. Alpine Ins. Co. v. Planchon (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1316, 1320 [if jury's finding of fact is dispositive and necessarily controls the judgment, the presence or absence of findings on other issues is inconsequential]; Coorough v. DeLay (1959) 171 Cal.App.2d 41, 48 ["[W]here a jury returns a verdict in favor of the defendant on the main issue, errors in instructions bearing solely on the amount of damages present no ground for reversal."].)
