33 citing documents.

  • Appeal of Eleonora Porobic N.H. 2022
    RSA 76:16-a, V. The standard articulated in RSA 76:16-a, V does not mean that the Board’s factual findings are unreviewable, see RSA 76:16-a, V (appeals from decision of the BTLA are “limited to questions of law”), but rather that such findings will not be disturbed unless clearly made “without evidence.” See Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 496-97 (1978) (the question of sufficient evidence, as opposed to its weight, is dealt with as a matter of law).
  • Vachon v. New England Towing, Inc. 809 A.2d 771 N.H. 2002
    Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 498 (1978) (“a finding upon the issue of causation may be made as an inference from evidentiary facts”).

  • St-Laurent v. Fiermonti Oldsmobile, Inc. 611 A.2d 638 N.H. 1992
    at 1185; see also Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 496, 389 A.2d 429, 431 (1978) (motion “granted only when the evidence and all reasonable inferences therefrom construed most favorably to the party opposing the motion would not enable a jury to find for that party”).
  • Great Lakes Aircraft Co. v. City of Claremont 608 A.2d 840 N.H. 1992
    Although “the trial judge has been granted little discretion to withdraw questions of substantive fact from a jury’s consideration,” Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 495, 389 A.2d 429, 431 (1978), the issue before us is a mixed question of law and fact.
  • State v. O'Neill 589 A.2d 999 N.H. 1991
    The distinctions between such levels of review were laid out for civil proceedings in Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 495-96, 389 A.2d 429, 431-32 (1978).
  • Gelinas v. Metropolitan Property & Liability Insurance 551 A.2d 962 N.H. 1988
    .’” Chagnon Lumber Co., Inc. v. DeMulder, 121 N.H. 173, 175, 427 A.2d 48, 50 (1981) (quoting Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 497, 389 A.2d 429, 432 (1978), itself quoting Eichel v. Payeur, 107 N.H. 194, 196, 219 A.2d 287, 288 (1966)).
  • Vincent v. Public Service Co. 529 A.2d 397 N.H. 1987
    *624 A trial court may direct a verdict only “when the evidence and all reasonable inferences therefrom construed most favorably to the party opposing the motion would not enable a jury to find for that party.” Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 496, 389 A.2d 429, 431 (1978).
  • Millimet v. First Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n 533 A.2d 328 N.H. 1987
    We read this as a finding that no reasonable jury could award damages for the higher cost of borrowed money, see Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 496, 389 A.2d 429, 431 (1978), and we understand that the trial court intended to restrict the new trial on damages to proof of special expenses.

  • Young v. Clogston 499 A.2d 1007 N.H. 1985
    Although the trial judge may question a witness in order to clarify testimony, In re Ronnie Prime, 120 N.H. 849, 850, 424 A.2d 804, 805 (1980), weighing of substantive evidence is “the very essence of the jury’s function.” Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 495, 389 A.2d 429, 431 (1978).

    The plaintiffs’ claims that the trial court could not grant the motion to set aside the verdict and for a new trial where it had previously denied the defendant’s motion for a directed verdict, or where the defendant had not moved for a mistrial at the close of the plaintiffs’ presentation of their case, are entirely lacking in merit, see generally Kierstead v. Betley Chevrolet-Buick, Inc., 118 N.H. 493, 495-96, 389 A.2d 429, 431-32 (1978), as is their argument that the trial court did not adequ
