Brody v. Foster

Hallam, J.

(dissenting).

In my opinion the damages allowed in this case are excessive, and a verdict for the amount returned should not be allowed to stand. The amount of the verdict exceeds slightly the amount demanded in the complaint. The damages are predicated on a value of $3,000 for the Lake street lot. The evidence is undisputed that plaintiff was offering this lot for $1,800' at about the time he made the exchange with defendant.
