Description

The first question we address is whether the court erred in denying defendants motions for a directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The purpose of a motion for directed verdict is to test the sufficiency of the evidence to go to the jury. Cutts v. Casey, 278 N.C. 390, 180 S.E.2d 297 (1971). In ruling upon a motion for directed verdict made at the close of all the evidence, the court must consider all of the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, including evidence elicited from the defendant favorable to the plaintiff. Tate v. Bryant, 16 N.C. App. 132, 191 S.E.2d 433 (1972). The same principles and standards apply to motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Dickinson v. Pake, 284 N.C. 576, 201 S.E.2d 897 (1974).
