MICHAEL v. SMITH
Court of Appeals of Mississippi.
Jan 16, 1996
Affirmed with an additur of $10,000 to Michael reduced by fifty percent pursuant to the jury's findings for a total of $5,000, or a new trial at the defendants' option. The stipulated additur of $40.22 for the towing fee is also affirmed. The defendants have twenty days from the mandate being issued by the clerk of the court or twenty days after a petition for rehearing, if any, is filed by either side and disposed of, whichever is later, within which to accept the additur; if the defendant declines to accept the additur, a new trial on damages shall automatically be granted.
FRAISER, C.J., BRIDGES, P.J., and BARBER, DIAZ, KING, McMILLIN and SOUTHWICK, JJ., concur.
