Description
Maxine Ryan (Ryan) filed suit against the City of Bozeman (City) alleging that a City employee negligently drove a City vehicle such that it collided with Ryan's vehicle at the intersection of Cottonwood and Montana Streets. A jury returned a verdict that Ryan and the City were each 50% negligent and found damages in the amount of $37,000. The court granted Ryan's motions for directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) on the issue of liability and granted a new trial on the issue of damages. The City appealed from the grant of a new trial (Cause No. 96-086) and filed a petition for writ of supervisory control (Cause No. 96-263) with regard to the grant of a JNOV since the grant of a JNOV is not subject to appeal under Rule 1, M.R.App.P. In its petition for the writ, the City asked that the two issues be combined for purposes of briefing; Ryan did not oppose the motion. Given the posture of this case and in the interests of judicial economy, we granted the writ and ordered that both the granting of the JNOV and the granting of the new trial be combined for briefing in Cause No. 96-086. We reverse and remand for a new trial.
