Walsh v. Hill

Supreme Court of New Jersey
Dec 18, 1967
236 A.2d 604 (N.J. 1967)

Opinion

Argued November 21, 1967 —

Decided December 18, 1967.

Appeal from Superior Court, Appellate Division.

Mr. Eugene W. Landy for appellant ( Messrs. Landy, Bonello and Bonello, attorneys).

Mr. John Jay Mangini for respondent ( Messrs. Campbell, Mangini, Foley Lee, attorneys).


In this automobile negligence case the Appellate Division disagreed as to whether a portion of the trial judge's charge to the jury was prejudicially erroneous. The majority found no such error.

In reviewing the matter we have examined the criticized portion in the context of the entire charge. When so viewed, and even though the challenged language is not as clear as it might have been, we cannot say that legal error appears.

Accordingly the judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed.

For affirmance — Chief Justice WEINTRAUB and Justices FRANCIS, PROCTOR, HALL, SCHETTINO and HANEMAN — 6.

For reversal — None.
