Excerpt from A Manual Relating to Special Verdicts and Special Findings by Juries: Based on the Decisions of All the StatesIT IS hoped that this book on the practice connected with special findings of fact by juries will supply a need which unquestionably exists. Either special verdicts or special findings on particular questions of fact, and in some in stances both, are in daily use in more than half of our states and territories, and are highly favored by both bench and bar, by whom they are regarded as legal instruments of precision, yet there is no treatise published covering the subject. In some jurisdictions there is scarcely a damage suit tried in which the defendant, not satisfied with a bare general verdict, does not demand findings on several or all of the controlling facts, either with or without a general verdict, as he may choose or the statute permit, in order to guard against a prejudiced verdict for his adversary. But though most frequently met with in tort actions (nota bly personal injury cases), the use of special findings is by no means confined thereto, nor is it always the defendant who avails himself of the privilege conferred by the statute, though its benefits and the sense of security it affords are naturally most appreciated by him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
