Description
Petitioner, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, challenges the Court of Appeals decision which reversed a defense verdict in its favor. The Court of Appeals held that judgment notwithstanding the verdict was proper and that petitioner was required to exercise the highest standard of care in a case involving the maintenance of a lamp serviced by a 120-volt current. We reverse on both issues but find, as did the Court of Appeals, that the jury was improperly instructed on the issue of proximate cause. We therefore remand for a new trial on all issues.
