Webb v. Giant of Maryland, LLC
Annotate this Case
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the court of special appeals reversing the circuit court's judgment in favor of Plaintiff in this personal injury case, holding that the court of special appeals did not err or abuse its discretion.
Plaintiff, who was injured while shopping at a supermarket owned and operated by Defendant, brought this suit alleging negligence and negligent hiring, training, and supervision. A jury returned a verdict in favor of Plaintiff. The intermediate appellate court reversed, concluding that the circuit court erred in denying Defendant's motion for judgment made at the close of evidence and in giving a jury instruction on spoliation. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the court of appeals (1) applied the correct standard of review when reviewing the circuit court's denial of Defendant's motion for judgment; (2) did not err in reversing the circuit court's denial of Defendant's motion for judgment; and (3) did not err in holding that the circuit court's spoliation instruction was prejudicial.
