Long v. Bankers Life Casualty Company

Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama
Mar 26, 1975
311 So. 2d 331 (Ala. Civ. App. 1975)

Opinion

Civ. 359.

March 26, 1975.

On Remand from Supreme Court.


The prior decision of this court, 54 Ala. App. 604, 311 So.2d 324 (1974), has been reversed for this court's failure to apply the correct standard for reviewing motion for summary judgment in the area of re-trial litigation after an appellate court's determination that a jury verdict was contrary to the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. The rationale of the Supreme Court's opinion and the correct standard to use is set out in its opinion, 293 Ala. 67, 311 So.2d 328 (1975).

It is apparent to this court that the distinguished trial judge used the same incorrect standard as did this court. We therefore reverse and remand for a determination by the trial judge in conformity with the Supreme Court's opinion.

Reversed and remanded.

WRIGHT, P. J., and BRADLEY, J., concur.
