United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided April 12, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John P. Barylick, Providence, RI, with whom Wistow & Barylick Inc. was on brief, for plaintiff.

Stephen B. Lang, Providence, RI, with whom Patrick B. Landers and Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney were on brief, for defendant.

Before SELYA, CYR and BOUDIN, Circuit Judges.

SELYA, Circuit Judge.

These cross-appeals require us to wend our way through a maze of unusual facts and subtly nuanced legal issues. After exploring a little-charted frontier of tort law, we reverse the district court's direction of judgment notwithstanding the verdict and reinstate the jury's award on the plaintiff's claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress. In all other respects, we affirm the rulings of the lower court.
