Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County Honorable Alfred J. Paul, Judge Presiding. As part of a settlement, Outboard and Lester dismissed with prejudice their contribution claims against each other. We reverse and remand.
Trial courts have discretion to decide which jury instructions to deliver.
244 Ill. App. We will grant a new trial only where a party shows it suffered serious prejudice to its right to a fair trial due to the court's failure to give a tendered jury instruction. 223 Ill. App. The trial judge, after verdict, will then have to determine the contribution judgment to be entered. Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions, Civil, No.
