What are the implications of a jury’s verdict in a personal injury case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fonseca v. Hansen, 2016 ONCA 299 (CanLII):
The difficulty for the appellant here is that in relation to both assumptions there was conflicting evidence. As Lang J.A. explained in Lazare v. Harvey, at para. 29, “[i]n those cases where there is some evidence to support the jury's verdict, high deference will be accorded and the verdict will not be set aside even if another conclusion is available on the evidence.”
