Description
The plaintiffs appeal from a judgment granting defendant Faulkner University ("Faulkner") a new trial following the return
of jury verdicts in the plaintiffs' favor. The plaintiffs are former students of Faulkner. Faulkner cross-appeals, challenging
the trial court's denial of its motions for directed verdict and j.n.o.v. Although it denied Faulkner's motion for j.n.o.v., the court granted its subsequent motion for a new trial and listed five
reasons for doing so: (1) that the verdicts failed to do Justice between the parties; (2) that the verdicts were so varying
that it was apparent that they were the result of confusion, and were inconsistent with the jury instructions given; (3) that
the verdicts were contrary to the law and the evidence; (4) that the verdicts were contrary to the great weight and preponderance
of the evidence; and (5) that the verdicts were excessive so as to demonstrate bias, passion, prejudice, corruption, or other
improper motive.
