In our view the verdict, on this record, is excessive and the compensatory damages should not exceed $5,000, the punitive damages $32,500.
Judgment reversed on the law and the facts and a new trial ordered unless the plaintiff-respondent shall stipulate within 10 days of the service of an order with notice of entry, to accept the sum of $37,500 in which event the judgment as modified is affirmed. No costs. Settle order.
