Doutre v. Niec
Michigan Court of Appeals
138 N.W.2d 501 (1965)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Plaintiff endured head and facial injuries as a result of treatment received at the defendants’ beauty shop. He brought a negligence suit for damages. At trial, the court did not permit the defendants to testify about the standard of care that beauty shops in the area used. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants filed a motion for new trial due to the court’s refusal to allow them to testify on the standard of care. The trial court granted the motion, but ruled that the new trial would only involve liability, and not damages. Both parties appealed.
