A. K. Hilkmeyer v. Latin American Air Cargo Expediters

The case arises on a petition for certiorari to review a circuit court affirmance of a civil court of record judgment, wherein the civil court of record judge set aside a jury verdict upon a motion for judgment non obstante veredicto by the defendant, where there was also pending a reserved ruling on a motion by defendant for a directed verdict. The trial court set aside the jury verdict because "the evidence adduced at the trial showed that the defendant did not make a direct contract to pay for the goods involved, but made only a guarantee."
