Heading: Scott's Negligence

Text: By its answers to Special Verdict Form Question No. 7(a) and Question No. 7(b), the jury found that Scott was negligent, but that his negligence was not a direct cause of Kanta's death. The plaintiffs have asserted that the evidence is insufficient to support the jury's finding that Scott's negligence was not a direct cause of Kanta's death. Our reversal on other grounds renders unnecessary a determination of this issue. For the reasons stated, we reverse the judgment dismissing the action against the Moose Lodge, Scott and Nemont, and the orders denying a new trial against them, and remand for a new trial against all defendants except Barke. ERICKSTAD, C.J., and MESCHKE, LEVINE and VANDE WALLE, JJ., concur.
