Opinion

GRIFFIN, Chief Judge.

We find no error in the lower court’s refusal to grant appellants a new trial on liability and damages because the award of damages was small. We do agree, however, that Catherine Farro is entitled to a new trial on damages. A zero verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and contrary to law. At a minimum, she is entitled to nominal damages.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.

W. SHARP and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
