FARRO v. LOWE'S HOME CENTERS, INC.

No. 97-1869.

710 So.2d 773 (1998)

Arthur W. FARRO and Catherine Farro, Appellants, v. LOWE'S HOME CENTERS, INC., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

June 5, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel A. Amat, of Simmons, Hart & Sheehe, Ocala, for Appellants.

John H. Pelzer and Daniella Friedman, of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellee.


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.
