2011As one commentator noted prior to the enactment of immunity statutes, such as RCW 51.24.035, [t]he problem caused by workers' compensation statutes is illustrated by Erhart v.

Sullivan v. Watson green

1969As pointed out by Professor Trautman, in the 10 years following the enactment of the rule, the Supreme Court reversed nearly all orders granting new trial which it reviewed. 2 The results in these cases no doubt prompted King County Superior Court Judge Henry Clay Agnew to state: "... a trial judge no longer has the right to grant a new trial because he believes substantial justice has not been done because the verdict is overwhelmingly contrary to the weight of the evidence.” Sullivan v. Watson, 60 Wn.2d 759 , 765 n.2, 375 P.2d 501 (1962).
