Description
Mary McCormack sought $35,000 for personal injuries which she averred she had sustained while alighting from one of defendant's
motorbuses. The jury returned a verdict for defendant which has appealed from the trial court's order granting plaintiff a
new trial on the ground of error in having given defendant's instruction 5. About 9:15 in the morning of April 4, 1957, Mrs. McCormack was a passenger on defendant's motorbus. As she was in the process
of alighting and in the act of stepping from the bus floor down to a step at the open exit door, the bus, according to her,
suddenly moved forward and she was thrown to the street. She submitted her case under a conventional res ipsa loquitur instruction.
