Civil Practice : Jury Instructions – Advertising Contracts
Stephanie Maniscalco//March 30, 2017//
Where an advertising agency sued an automotive business after the auto business terminated the parties’ contract, and a jury found in favor of the advertising agency, the judgment is reversed and remanded in part because the giving of jury instructions that did not require the jury to resolve central issues was prejudicial error, but the defendant did not show prejudice resulted from a trial court error in allowing nine rather than six peremptory challenges to potential jurors.
Judgment is affirmed in part; reversed and remanded in part.
