Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Griffin v. Davis

170 N.E.2d 356, 341 Mass. 730

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court·Decided November 3, 1960·Published

Opinion

Exceptions overruled. This is an action of tort for injuries sustained by the plaintiff on April 18, 1948, while riding as a guest in an automobile operated by the defendant. The jury found for the plaintiff. The ease comes here on the defendant’s exceptions to the denial of his motion for a directed verdict and to certain rulings on evidence. We are of opinion that the evidence warranted a finding of gross negligence on the part of the defendant. We are also of opinion that the rulings on evidence of which the defendant complains reveal no error. A discussion of them would add nothing to our law.
