Description
This post-verdict motion highlights the problems and pitfalls that may befall parties that have entered into "high/low" stipulations at trial. High/low agreements are generally favored by courts, attorneys and litigants, as they assure a minimally acceptable recovery to plaintiffs in the event of an unexpectedly small verdict or a defense verdict, while protecting defendants against runaway verdicts. New York has "long favored and encouraged the fashioning of stipulations as a means of expediting and simplifying the resolution of disputes." Mitchell v New York Hospital, 61 NY2d 208, 215 (1984).
