E & E Electric Co. v. Gold Coast 72Nd Street Diner

On March 16, 1961, Atlas Realty Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Atlas) sued Roy C. Jones in an action at law for a brokers commission relating to the sale and exchange of lands. A judgment was entered against Jones, the appellant-defendant, in conformity with the jurys verdict. Jones, having moved for a directed verdict at the close of all the evidence, moved timely for a judgment n.o.v. or, in the alternative a new trial, which motion was denied. Thereupon Jones appealed. We find that the court erred in denying defendant Jones motion for judgment n.o.v. and reverse.
